From Falls City to Norfolk, Omaha to North Platte, minor league baseball has been a colorful part of Nebraska history. Twenty two Nebraska towns have hosted minor league baseball teams since the late 1800's. The story starts with the Omaha entry into the Northwestern League in 1879 and although there have been years where there was no professional baseball in Nebraska it looks like the future is good with both Omaha and Lincoln hosting teams today.

While this is a site dedicated to baseball it is also the story of the communities that supported the teams. It is the story of town boosting, parks burning, owners whining, tornadoes destroying and the ever present optimism that comes with the first call of "Play Ball" in the spring.

So come on in and explore, by league, by town, by player or by era this site is for learning about
I started this website many years before Baseball Rererence. I relied on Spalding Guides, Reach Guides and local newspaper accounts. Some towns had papers that actively supported baseball, some were neutral and a few were actively hostile to the sport. I went to every town and searched their library archives to attempt to be as complete as possible.
