The Fort Smith Twins (often remembered locally as the Fort Smith Giants) were a minor league baseball team that existed in various incarnations from 1887 through 1953, playing a total of 36 seasons. From 1911 onward, the teams played in the Western Association.
Beginning in 1921, the teams played most of their home games at Andrews Field, in downtown Fort Smith on land now owned by the Fort Smith National Cemetery.[1]
Hugo Bezdek managed them for part of the 1909 season.
