Did You Know
Owensboro was the home of a major league baseball team from 1946-1955. The name of the team was the Owensboro Oilers. The team was part of the KITTY (Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee) League. The Owensboro Oilers, pennant winners three times during the period, consistently led the league in attendance at their showcase ballpark, Miller Field, which Joe DiMaggio once described as "the best minor league ballpark in the United States." The field was located on what is now the corner of Triplett and 18th streets.
