Detail:
Since the creation of the Charlotte Hornets in 1901, professional baseball has long established its place in the rich history of the Queen City. From this inaugural season to the turn of the twenty-first century, Charlotte baseball teams have produced 15 championships, 31 post-season berths and one Las Vegas Triple-A World Series appearance.
In 1989, Shinn changed the team's nickname to the Knights through a "Name the Team" contest and also switched affiliations from Baltimore to the Chicago Cubs. A year later, Shinn moved the club to Knights Stadium, a 10,002-seat state-of-the-art facility located in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The move to the new facility proved successful, as the Knights led all Double-A teams in attendance in 1991 and 1992 with totals of 313,791 and 338,047 respectively.
