The Owensboro Baseball Committee is a group of local citizens dedicated to evaluating the feasibility of establishing a minor league baseball team in Owensboro, Kentucky. As part of its efforts, the committee is exploring potential affiliation with the Frontier League as a viable option for bringing professional baseball to the community. The committee is exploring mixed-use facility options with an emphasis on fiscal responsibility and limited taxpayer impact.
The committee recognizes the need for more affordable, family-friendly entertainment options for residents of Owensboro. The city has a rich baseball tradition, highlighted by teams such as the Owensboro Oilers, as well as strong participation at the collegiate, high school, and youth levels. Based on this history and community engagement, the committee believes Owensboro is well-positioned to support a minor league baseball team. The proposed minor league team and accompanying mixed-use facility would serve as a valuable asset to the community, enhancing quality of life while also attracting visitors and generating meaningful economic benefits for the local economy.
The committee is composed of eight citizens who volunteer their time and expertise to advance this initiative. Its members are committed to developing a sustainable plan to bring a team to Owensboro that is financially self-sufficient and does not impose a burden on the residents of Owensboro or Daviess County.
