  Louisville Colonels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Louisville Colonels were a Major League Baseball team that played in the American Association throughout that league's ten-year existence from 1882 until 1891, first as the Louisville Eclipse (1882- 1884) and later as the Louisville Colonels (1885 -1891).
This last Louisville Colonels team played in the minor league International League until 1972 when they were relocated to Pawtucket, Rhode Island and became known as the Pawtucket Red Sox.

When prize QB recruit Brian Brohm signed with Louisville there was a collective cheer from Cardinals fans that could be heard all over the great state of Kentucky, and undoubtedly a rather large groan from Big East fans, where the Cardinals will be heading to at the start of the 2005 season.

He will make them a force for years to come in the soon to be realigned Big East, and by his senior season his potential will hopefully translate into a BCS birth.
