	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).
		The Colonels won the 1890 pennant in the AA, during a season in which the league was considered only the third-best behind the NL and the Players League, and appeared in a postseason series which resulted in three wins for each team.
		Pee Wee Reese was a rookie with the 1938 Colonels.

	Remember the ABA: Kentucky Colonels
		During the early years of the ABA, the Colonels were known more for their eye-catching green uniforms, their unique dog mascot, and their bizarre promotions than championship basketball.
		Despite the fact that the Colonels did not have the home-court advantage, the series was not as competitive as the previous one.
		To the great disappointment of long-time Colonels fans, Kentucky was left out of the merger and the Colonel's players were placed in a special dispersal draft of ABA players (along with players from the Spirits of St. Louis).
