Indianapolis Hoosiers (minor league baseball)
At least three teams in
minor league baseball
have borne the name Indianapolis Hoosiers.
Western League Hoosiers I
The first
Western League, which lasted only part of the 1885
season, included an Indianapolis Hoosiers team. This Hoosiers team won the 1885 Western League pennant.
Western League Hoosiers II
Another Hoosiers minor-league team came into existence in
Western League, which became the American League in 1900. Despite winning three Western League pennants (1895, 1897, 1899), this team was contracted when the AL became an official major league in 1901
.
Western Association Hoosiers
One of the two Western Associations that existed in 1901 also had a team known as the Indianapolis Hoosiers. Both the team and league lasted only one season.
