The Nashville Seraphs were a minor league baseball team that played in the Class B Southern League in 1895. They were located in Nashville, Tennessee, and played their home games at Athletic Park. The Seraphs won the Southern League pennant in their only year of existence, making them the first Nashville minor league baseball team to win a league championship.
Nashville's previous Southern League club, the Nashville Tigers, ceased to play when the league suspended operations approximately nine games into the second half of the 1894 season. On January 14, 1895, Southern League officials granted an expansion franchise in the city to W. H. Stallings. Nashville's new team for the 1895 season was called the Seraphs. The Nashville club joined eight other teams in the circuit: the Atlanta Crackers, Chattanooga Warriors (subsequently the Mobile Bluebirds), Evansville Blackbirds, Little Rock Travelers, Memphis Giants (also known as the Memphis Lambs), Montgomery Grays, and New Orleans Pelicans. The Seraphs played their home games at Athletic Park, which would later come to be known as Sulphur Dell.
