The Chattanooga Lookouts are a Minor League Baseball team based in Chattanooga, Tennessee , USA . They are named for nearby Lookout Mountain . The team, which plays in the Southern League , is the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds major-league club. The Lookouts play in AT&T Field , located in Chattanooga. Opened in 2000 , the stadium seats 6,160 fans. From 1930 - 1999 , the "Looks" played at historic Engel Stadium . During previous owner Joe Engel's tenure, the Lookouts won four championships -- three with the Southern Association and a fourth with the South Atlantic League .

Notable former Lookouts players that have made it to the Major Leagues include Baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth , Lou Gehrig , Hank Aaron , Satchel Paige , Willie Mays , Burleigh Grimes , Harmon Killebrew , and Ferguson Jenkins .
