History
The KIT League was formed in 2004 with teams in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. Though the league was formed in 2004, its first season was in 2005.
The current league commissioner, Randy Morgan, has been the commissioner of the league since its inception.
The heritage for the KIT League is in the old KITTY League. This was a Class D Minor League that operated between 1903 and 1955. The KIT League consists of teams that have the same names as the original Class D Minor League teams, such as the Union City Greyhounds, a former Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate, and the Fulton Railroaders, a former Washington Senators affiliate.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
