Baseball legend Joe Engel was one of the greatest promoters of all times. Mr. Engel headed up the Chattanooga Lookouts for decades. His promotions included Jackie Mitchell, one of the first female baseball pitchers, striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game with the New York Yankees.
Engel also gave away a house which stands today on Hixson Pike in the S Curve. Engel s famous Knot Hole Gang allowed many young teens to see the Lookouts free if they went to Sunday School.
