Louisville Colonels (1968-1972)
May 9, 2020
The Louisville Colonels were the top farm club of the Boston Red Sox from 1968 to 1972. The team was a revival, in name at least, of Louisville’s long-time Class AAA Colonels who played 61 seasons in the American Association from 1902 until that league’s demise at the end of the 1962 season. After helping to develop future Sox stars such as Dwight Evans and Carlton Fisk, this International League team relocated to Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1973.
