History

Minor league baseball began in Huntsville, Arkansas when the 1935 Huntsville "Red Birds" began play as a minor league affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. [1]

Huntsville became members of the six–team Class D level Arkansas State League and placed last in the standings in their one season of minor league play. Huntsville ended the 1935 Arkansas State League season with a record of 41–63, to place 6th in the Arkansas State League standings. Huntsville finished 22.5 games behind the 1st place Siloam Springs Travelers and were managed by James Nicely, Charley Wilson, George Ruff and William Werner.[2][1][3][4]

After the 1935 season, the franchise relocated to become the Monett Red Birds for the 1936 season. As a result of the move, the Arkansas State League became the Arkansas-Missouri League beginning in 1936.[5]
