Pensacola Snappers

The "Snappers" were preceded in minor league play by the 1903 Pensacola team that played as members of the Interstate League. In 1913, Pensacola resumed minor league play, as the Pensacola "Snappers" became members of the six-team, Class D level Cotton States League. The Clarksdale Swamp Angels, Columbus Joy Riders, Jackson Lawmakers, Meridian Metropolitans and Selma Centralites teams joined Pensacola in beginning league play on April 10, 1913. On April 27, 1913, the Snappers defeated Columbus 16–3, compiling 27 hits in the victory. After the win over Columbus, Pensacola had a record of 6–5 and were in third place behind first place Jackson, who had a 12–2 record. The Cotton States League folded following the completion of the 1913 season, with the onset of World War I. The league resumed play in 1922, without a Pensacola franchise. ==The ballpark==

The Pensacola Snappers hosted 1913 minor league home games at Maxent Park. Built in 1911, the ballpark was later renamed to Legion Field in 1927. The ballpark was located at G Street & Gregory Street. The Snappers also were noted to have played some games at a ballpark near Star Lake in Pensacola. Today, Legion Field is still in use at the same site as a public park with a ballpark and other amenities. The location is 1301 West Gregory Street. ==Year–by–year record==
