Owensboro Oilers 1946 Season Game Logs
Organized Baseball Returns to Owensboro, KY
On July 17, 1936, organized baseball returned to Owensboro after a nearly 20 year layoff. Owensboro became the newest member of the Kitty League, taking over from the Portageville Pirates.
Their opening home game, which started the League’s second half, was played against the League-leading Paducah Indians as Owensboro first foe.
Billy Goff, from Hopkinsville, served as the club’s traveling secretary and player-manager Hugh Wise remained in charge of the club.
The team played their 1936 season games at Southside Park (modern day Legion Park).
Owensboro finished the season in sixth place with a record of 26 and 32.
