Frankfort Lawmakers

The Frankfort Lawmakers were a minor league baseball team based in Frankfort, Kentucky, active during the early 1900s. They competed in the Blue Grass League, a Class D circuit that operated in central Kentucky and featured other small-town teams from the region. The Lawmakers' name was a nod to Frankfort’s role as the capital of Kentucky and the seat of the state legislature. Baseball in this era was deeply rooted in local identity, and teams like the Lawmakers helped foster community spirit and regional rivalries. The team played during a time when professional baseball was rapidly expanding across small towns, laying the foundation for the sport’s national popularity.
