The 'Chattanooga Lookouts' are a minor league baseball team based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. They are named for nearby Lookout Mountain. The team, which plays in the Southern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds major-league club. The Lookouts play in AT&T Field, located in Chattanooga. Opened in 2000, the stadium seats 6,160 fans. From 1930-1999, the "Looks" played at historic Engel Stadium.
During previous owner Joe Engel's tenure, the Lookouts won four championships -- three with the Southern Association and a fourth with the South Atlantic League. For a time, Engel led the charge to own the Lookouts privately, with the help of several hundred fans as shareholders from 1938 to 1942. In 1939, as a privately owned franchise under coach Kiki Cuyler, the Lookouts claimed a championship.
Notable former Lookouts players that have made it to the Major Leagues include Baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, Willie Mays, Burleigh Grimes, Harmon Killebrew, and Ferguson Jenkins. Also, Adam Dunn (Cincinnati Reds), Austin Kearns (Washington Nationals), and Jason LaRue (Kansas City Royals) currently play in the MLB. Other notable former players include Alvin Davis, Mark Langston, Deion Sanders, Pete Rose Jr. (son of Pete Rose) and Ben Broussard of the Seattle Mariners.
2007 will mark the teams' 102nd season of play in Chattanooga.
