Nashville Elite Giants (1930, Negro National League)
Nashville Seraphs (1895, Southern League)
Nashville Sounds (1986-, American Assoc. AAA)
Nashville Tigers (1893-'94, Southern League)
Nashville Volunteers (aka Vols) (1946-61, Southern Association, AA)
Not to be picky, which I am, the Volunteers name goes back to 1901 in the Southern Association.
