Frankfort Lawmakers

The Frankfort Lawmakers were a minor league team based in Frankfort, Kentucky, active in the early 1900s. They competed in the Blue Grass League, a Class D circuit of small-town teams from central Kentucky. The Lawmakers name was a nod to Frankfort's role as the state capital and the seat of the Kentucky legislature. In the late 1800s and first half of the 1900s, teams existed in thousands of small towns across the United States, as Americans looked for recreational activities and entertainment in the era before TV.
