The Nashville Sounds minor league baseball franchise has played 33 seasons since its inception in Nashville, Tennessee in the 1978 season. As of the completion of the 2011 season, the club has played in 4,869 regular season games and compiled a win–loss record of 2,527–2,342.[1] They have a post-season record of 40–38.[2] These season-by-season records are correct as of the end of the 2011 season.

The club was established as an expansion team of the Double-A Southern League (SL) in 1978.[3] They moved to the Triple-A American Association (AA) in 1985 and to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League (PCL) in 1998.[3] The team won the Southern League title in 1979 as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds and again in 1982 as the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The Sounds won the Pacific Coast League title in 2005 as the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.[4]

Nashville's seven years spent playing in the Southern League resulted with the club figuring in the post-season picture during six of those seven seasons.[2] They won three Western Division titles and two Southern League Championships.[5] The club's 13 years with the American Association at the Triple-A level was a vast contrast. The Sounds only managed three trips to the post-season, including two by virtue of winning the Eastern Division title.[2] The team did not perform well during their first few years with the Pacific Coast League. Since then, the Sounds have won four division titles, two American Conference titles, and one Pacific Coast League Championship.[6]
