The Virginia Mountain League was a class D minor league baseball organization active in central western Virginia in 1914. It had four teams: the Charlottesville Tuckahoes, the Clifton Forge, Virginia based Clifton Forge Railroaders, the Covington, Virginia based Covington Papermakers; and the Staunton, Virginia team, and the Harrisonburg, Virginia hosted Harrisonburg Lunatics (the Staunton team moved to Harrisonburg in July 1914).[1][2] The league disbanded on July 25, 1914 because of poor attendance and suspicions of game fixing.[2]
