List of Nashville Sounds seasons
The Nashville Sounds Minor League Baseball team has played 43 seasons since its establishment in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1978. As of the cancellation of the 2020 season, the club has played 6,004 regular season games and compiled a win–loss record of 3,083–2,921 (.513).[1] They have qualified for the postseason on 14 occasions and have a postseason record of 42–41 (.506).[2] Combining all 6,087 regular season and postseason games, Nashville has an all-time record of 3,125–2,962 (.513).[1][2]
The Sounds were created as an expansion team of the Double-A Southern League (SL) in 1978.[3] They moved to the Triple-A American Association (AA) in 1985 and to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League (PCL) in 1998.[3] Nashville has won three league championships. They won the Southern League championship in 1979 as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds and again in 1982 as the Double-A club of the New York Yankees. The Sounds won the Pacific Coast League championship in 2005 as the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.[4]
Nashville reached the postseason in six of their seven years in the Southern League, all by means of winning the Second Half Western Division title.[2] They went on to win three Western Division titles and two Southern League championships during this period.[5] The Sounds' 13 years in the American Association were less successful. Though Nashville posted eight winning seasons and qualified for the playoffs three times, including twice by virtue of clinching the Eastern Division title, they failed to win an American Association championship.[2] After a quiet start in the Pacific Coast League, the Sounds went on to win four division titles, two American Conference titles, and one Pacific Coast League championship between 2003 and 2007.[6] Nashville did not qualify again for postseason play until 2016 when they won the American Southern Division title.[7]
The team's best season record occurred in 1980, when they finished 97–46 (.678) as the Double-A Yankees. Their lowest season record was 57–87 (.396) in 2013 as the Triple-A Brewers. Of the eight Major League Baseball teams with which Nashville has been affiliated, the Sounds experienced their best record as the Double-A farm club of the Yankees from 1980 to 1984. The team had a composite regular season record of 417–306 (.577). They reached the postseason in all five seasons, winning two Western Division titles and one Southern League championship. Their postseason record was 14–14 (.500). Conversely, the team's lowest record has been as the Texas Rangers' Triple-A club in 2019. The Sounds compiled a 66–72 (.478) record and failed to reach the postseason in their only complete year of the affiliation, which runs through 2022.[8]
