The '''Charlotte Knights''' are a [[Minor League Baseball]] team of the [[International League]] and the [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] affiliate of the [[Chicago White Sox]]. They are located in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]], and play their home games at [[Truist Field]], which opened in 2014 and is located in [[Uptown Charlotte]]. The team previously played at [[Calvin Griffith Park|Knights Park]] (1976–1988), [[Knights Castle]] (1989), and [[Knights Stadium]] (1990–2013).

Established as a [[Double-A (baseball)|Double-A]] franchise of the [[Southern League (1964–present)|Southern League]] in 1976, the team was known as the '''Charlotte Orioles''', or '''Charlotte O's''', through 1987. The O's won the [[List of Southern League champions|Southern League championship]] twice: in 1980 and 1984 as the Double-A affiliate of the [[Baltimore Orioles]]. They were rebranded as the Charlotte Knights in 1988.

The Knights were replaced by a Triple-A International League team in conjunction with the [[1993 Major League Baseball expansion|1993 Major League Baseball (MLB) expansion]]. The Triple-A Knights carried on the history of the Double-A team that preceded them. In conjunction with MLB's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, Charlotte shifted to the Triple-A East, which was renamed the International League in 2022. The Knights have won two [[List of International League champions|International League championship]]s: in 1993 as the Triple-A affiliate of the [[Cleveland Indians]] and again in 1999 as the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox.

== History==
=== Prior professional baseball in Charlotte===

The first [[professional baseball]] team in Charlotte was the [[Charlotte Hornets (baseball)|Charlotte Hornets]], which played only a single season. In 1900, the city was home to the Charlotte Presbyterians. A year later, a new Hornets team formed. The Hornets competed in various leagues for 66&nbsp;seasons through 1972.<ref name=BRCharlotte>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?city=Charlotte&state=NC&country=US|title=Charlotte, North Carolina Encyclopedia|work=Baseball-Reference|publisher=Sports Reference|access-date=April 14, 2021}}</ref> In 1937, the [[Washington Senators (1901–1960)|Washington Senators]], later the [[Minnesota Twins]], purchased the team. The Hornets remained a minor league affiliate of the Senators/Twins for 35&nbsp;years. In 1940, [[Calvin Griffith]], the son of Senators owner [[Clark Griffith]] and future owner of the Senators/Twins, built an approximately 5,000-seat park in Charlotte's Dilworth neighborhood, [[Clark Griffith Park]]. It would be the home of Charlotte baseball for the next half-century.<ref name=CharlotteParks>{{cite web|last=Foster|first=Jason|url=https://charlotte.axios.com/4406/charlottes-baseball-parks-have-reflected-citys-identity/|title=Charlotte's Baseball Parks Have Reflected City's Identity|work=Axios Charlotte|date=May 22, 2015|access-date=April 16, 2021}}</ref>

The Hornets spent most of the first half of the 20th century in the low minors (in some years, as low as Class D–equivalent to a Rookie-level team today). However, they were the Senators' second-highest affiliate for much of that time. The Hornets joined the [[Class A (baseball)|Class A]] [[South Atlantic League (1904–1963)|South Atlantic League]] (SAL) in 1954. They had previously been members of the SAL in the 1920s. The league became a [[Double-A (baseball)|Double-A]] circuit in 1963 and was reorganized as the [[Southern League (1964–2020)|Southern League]] in 1964. In 1972, Charlotte was home to two teams: the Hornets and Minnesota's Class A affiliate in the [[Western Carolinas League]], the [[Charlotte Twins]].<ref name=BRCharlotte/> After a lackluster season, however, the Twins were moved to [[Orlando, Florida]], as the [[Orlando Rays|Orlando Twins]]. The Hornets also disbanded after the 1972 season, leaving the city without professional baseball.

=== Southern League (1976–1992) ===

In 1976, professional wrestling promoter [[Jim Crockett Jr.]] and his family bought the [[Asheville Tourists|Asheville Orioles]], the Double-A affiliate of the [[Baltimore Orioles]]. They relocated the club from [[Asheville, North Carolina]], to Charlotte as the Charlotte Orioles.{{sfn|Charlotte Knights Media Guide|2019|p=110}} Crockett renovated Griffith Park and renamed it Jim Crockett Memorial Park.<ref name=CharlotteParks/> Popularly known as the O's, the club joined the Southern League and inherited the Asheville team's status as the Orioles' Double-A affiliate.

The Southern League used a split-season schedule wherein the division winners from each half qualified for the postseason championship playoffs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/southern/events/playoff-procedures|title=Playoff Procedures|work=Southern League|publisher=Minor League Baseball|access-date=December 4, 2020}}</ref> Charlotte won the First Half Eastern Division title in their inaugural 1976 season, but lost the Eastern Division title to the [[Orlando Twins]] in a one-game playoff.<ref name=SC1976>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1976|title=1976 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref> The team featured [[pitcher]] [[Dave Ford]], who won the [[Southern League Most Outstanding Pitcher Award]],<ref name=SLawards>{{cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/southern/history/league-award-winners|title=Southern League Award Winners|website=Southern League|publisher=Minor League Baseball|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref> and future [[Baseball Hall of Fame]]r [[Eddie Murray]] at [[first base]].{{sfn|Charlotte Knights Media Guide|2019|p=110}} Charlotte won another first half title in 1979 but was again eliminated in the Eastern Division series by the [[Columbus Astros]], 2–0.<ref name=SC1979>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1979|title=1979 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref>

They defeated the [[Greenville Braves]], 3–1, for the Eastern Division title before winning their second league championship over the [[Knoxville Blue Jays]], 3–0.<ref name=SC1984>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1984|title=1984 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref> [[Ken Dixon]] was selected as the league's Most Outstanding Pitcher.<ref name=SLawards/>

In March 1985, the mostly wood-framed Crockett Park was destroyed by fire.{{sfn|Charlotte Knights Media Guide|2019|p=110}} An investigation revealed arson as the cause.<ref name=CharlotteParks/> The Crockett family built a 3,000-seat makeshift stadium immediately afterwards, which served as the O's home for two years. However, unlike its predecessor, it was completely exposed to the elements, causing a steep decline in attendance. The 1985 O's won a second half title and the Eastern Division over Columbus, 3–1, but lost the Southern League title to the [[Huntsville Stars]], 3–2.<ref name=SC1985>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1985|title=1985 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref> Similarly, the 1987 first-half champion O's won the division title versus the [[Jacksonville Expos]], 3–2, but lost the league crown to the [[Birmingham Barons]], 3–1.<ref name=SC1987>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1987|title=1987 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref> Third baseman [[Tom Dodd (baseball)|Tom Dodd]] was selected for the 1987 [[Southern League Most Valuable Player Award]].<ref name=SLawards/>

Following the 1987 season, [[George Shinn]], founder of the [[National Basketball Association]]'s [[Charlotte Hornets]], bought the team from the Crockett family and committed to building a permanent ballpark. In 1988, the team was renamed the Charlotte Knights in a naming contest, and Crockett Park was renamed Knights Park.<ref>Sorensen, Tom (December 9, 1987).

In 1989, Shinn moved the Knights to [[Knights Castle]], a temporary 8,000-seat stadium located just over the state line in [[Fort Mill, South Carolina]], near the construction site of their permanent home, [[Knights Stadium]].<ref name=CharlotteParks/> The stadium was built solely for the 1989 season and was demolished following the final game that year to make room for the completion of the 10,000-seat Knights Stadium.<ref name=CharlotteParks/> Along with a new ballpark, the Knights also had a new major league affiliate in the [[Chicago Cubs]]. [[Laddie Renfroe]] won the 1989 Southern League Most Outstanding Pitcher Award.<ref name=SLawards/> Charlotte returned to the playoffs in 1992, but lost the Eastern Division title to Greenville, which had won both halves of the season.<ref name=SC1992>{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/standings/l-SOUL/y-1992|title=1992 Southern League|website=Stats Crew|access-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref>

=== International League (1993–2020) ===

In conjunction with the [[1993 Major League Baseball expansion]], team owner George Shinn was granted an [[expansion team|expansion franchise]] in the [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] [[International League]] (IL), which would begin playing in Charlotte in 1993.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wiseman|first=Steve|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/45346385/knights_and_visitors_will_step_up_a/|via=Newspapers.com|title=Knights — and Visitors — Will Step Up a Class|work=The Charlotte Observer|location=Charlotte|date=April 22, 1992|page=1A}}</ref> Shinn, who had applied for Charlotte to receive one of two available Triple-A expansion teams, was recommended by the expansion committee after their visit to evaluate the city.<ref>{{cite news |last=Olson|first=Stan|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49594822/charlotte-awaits-official-nod/|via=Newspapers.com|title=Charlotte Awaits 'Official' Nod|work=The Charlotte Observer|location=Charlotte|date=December 12, 1991|page=2B}}</ref><ref name=JPosnanski>{{cite news |last=Posnanski|first=Joe|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49593061/charlotte-shows-class-to-panel/|via=Newspapers.com|title=Charlotte Shows Class to Panel|work=The Charlotte Observer|location=Charlotte|date=June 21, 1991|page=6C}}</ref> Of the nine applicant cities, Charlotte had the newest stadium, the only major league sports franchise (Shinn's Charlotte Hornets), and the largest metro area population.<ref name=JPosnanski/> It would be the first time a Carolinas-based team would play at the highest level of minor league baseball.

=== Triple-A East / International League (2021–present) ===
Following the 2020 season, Major League Baseball assumed control of Minor League Baseball to increase player salaries, modernize facility standards, and reduce travel. The Chicago White Sox retained Charlotte as their Triple-A affiliate, but the International League disbanded, and the Knights followed the other IL teams into the [[Triple-A East]].<ref name=JMayo2-12-2021>{{cite web|last=Mayo|first=Jonathan|title=MLB Announces New Minors Teams, Leagues|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/new-minor-league-baseball-structure|website=Major League Baseball|date=February 12, 2021|access-date=February 12, 2021}}</ref> Charlotte ended the season in seventh place in the Southeastern Division with a 45–75 record.<ref name=MILB2021>{{cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/standings/2021?standingsType=firstHalf&standingsView=division|title=2021 Triple-A East Standings|website=Minor League Baseball|access-date=October 3, 2021}}</ref> No playoffs were held to determine a league champion, the team with the best regular-season record was declared the winner.<ref name=MiLB7-14-2021>{{cite news |url=https://www.milb.com/milb/news/triple-a-classification-to-add-10-games-to-2021-schedule |title=MiLB Announces 'Triple-A Final Stretch' for 2021 |website=Minor League Baseball |date=July 14, 2021 |accessdate=July 16, 2021}}</ref> However, 10&nbsp;games postponed from the start of the season were reinserted into the schedule as a postseason tournament called the Triple-A Final Stretch, in which all 30 Triple-A clubs competed for the highest winning percentage.<ref name=MiLB7-14-2021/> Charlotte finished the tournament in 26th place with a 2–6 record.<ref name=2021FinalStretch>{{cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/standings/|title=2021 Triple-A Final Stretch Standings|website=Minor League Baseball|access-date=October 3, 2021}}</ref> In 2022, the Triple-A East became known as the International League, the name historically used by the regional circuit before the 2021 reorganization.<ref name=ILrename>{{cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/news/minor-league-baseball-historical-league-names-to-return-in-2022|title=Historical League Names to Return in 2022|website=Minor League Baseball|date=March 16, 2022|access-date=March 16, 2022}}</ref>

Before the 2023 season, the Knights debuted redesigned logos and uniforms. They retained their gold, silver, and black colors with the addition of blue, which is used by the city's other teams, the [[Carolina Panthers]], [[Charlotte FC]], and [[Charlotte Hornets]]. The knight's helmet, as was the "C" featured in their cap logo, was redesigned.<ref>{{cite web|last=Viola|first=Tommy|url=https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights/news/it-s-all-charlotte-knights-go-cltblue-with-exciting-brand-refresh|title=It's All Charlotte!
