Шаблон:Infobox Minor League Baseball The Evansville Brewers were a minor league baseball team from Evansville, Indiana, that played in the Class C Central League in 1897.

Team history

On February 7, 1897, the Evansville Brewers were formed as a charter member of the Class C Central League.[1] Joining the Brewers in the six-team league were the Cairo Egyptians, Nashville Centennials, Paducah Little Colonels, Terre Haute Hottentots, and Washington Browns.[2] Evansville's uniforms were cadet blue with white trimmings.[3]

The first game of the season took place on April 28 at Nashville's Athletic Park. The Brewers defeated the Centennials, 3–2, in front of a crowd of approximately 500 spectators.[4] Severe financial problems throughout the circuit forced the league to disband on July 20. As of July 19, the final day of play, the Brewers were in first place with a 41–30 (.577) record, making them the de facto league champions.[5]
