The Norfolk Phenoms were a minor league baseball team based in Norfolk, Virginia. In 1900, the Norfolk Phenoms played as members of the Virginia League, winning the league championship as the league folded during the season.
Hosting home games at Bain Field, the Phenoms were immediately preceded by the 1898 Norfolk Jewels of the Atlantic League.
Baseball Hall of Fame member Christy Mathewson played for the Norfolk Phenoms, leading the league in wins and strikeouts. Mathewson made his major league debut in 1900, shortly after the Virginia League had folded.
