Knights All-Decade Team (2010–19)
After the 2019 season concluded, I began to think about compiling a Charlotte Knights All-Decade Team. This team, which consists of standouts from the Charlotte Knights past decade (2010–19), has been a lot of fun to put together. Although I wasn’t there for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, I started working for the Knights in 2012 — so I have seen eight of the 10 seasons! Still, players from the 2010 and 2011 teams are being considered, I assure you that.
The plan was to unveil this team leading into 2020 Opening Day, which was originally scheduled for Thursday, April 9th in Durham, NC.
All of the stories will be posted to www.CharlotteKnights.com, so make sure you check back each weekday!
