1943 APPALACHIAN LEAGUE

Teams:


Bristol (VA) Twins
Erwin (TN) Aces
Johnson City (TN) Cardinals
Kingsport (TN) Cherokees

Schedule Characteristics:

SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G114_T4_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="114" start_month="5" start_day="4" start_day_of_week="3"

Each team plays 114 games. Teams play each other 38 times.

Season starts on May 4 and ends on August 27. Weekday games start at 7:00. Sunday games start at 1:00. Holiday split double-headers start at 1:00 and 7:00.

A compact class-D circuit located in the Appalachian foothills. Baseball Reference says that the Bristol team was from Bristol, VA, but there's also a Bristol, TN immediately adjacent to it - I don't know where the ballpark was located. There are only two breaks in the schedule - July 12-13 for the league's all-star game, and August 9-10 for Navy-Army charity games.
