The Louisville Colonels were a Major League Baseball team that played in the American Association (AA) throughout that league's ten-year existence from 1882 until 1891. They were known as the Louisville Eclipse from 1882–1884, and as the Louisville Colonels from 1885 to 1891. The latter name derived from the historic Kentucky colonels. After the AA folded in 1891, the Colonels joined the National League and played through the 1899 season.
After spending several years as a well-known semi-pro team, the Eclipse joined the new American Association in 1882. The team's backer, local distiller J. H. Pank, was named vice-president of the AA, and the team was to be run by a consortium led by W. L. Lyons. Accompanying them to the major leagues was their star player, infielder Pete Browning, who had already achieved some measure of local fame. The team got off to a good start, finishing in second place that first season. That would be their best finish for several seasons.

Footage believed to be of the 1940 Louisville Colonels playing an unknown opponent, possibly the Minneapolis Millers, at Parkway Field in Louisville, Kentucky. The batter wearing number 1-A is believed to be "Big" Jim Weaver (1903-1983). The jersey numbers worn by Colonels was part of a scheme to number players based on their position. Numbering was 1 for pitchers, 2 for catchers, 3 for 1B, etc., in addition to a number for multiple players at a position, meaning pitchers were numbered 1-A, 1-B, etc. The jerseys were used only in 1940, possibly only by the Colonels.
The footage was taken by amateur cinematographer B.M. "Steve" Stevenson and is part of the B.M. and Agnes Stevenson film collection [013PC23] at The Filson Historical Society.

World Series - The Lineups - 1890 - Louisville Colonels vs Brooklyn Bridegrooms
"The Lineups" is a video series which gives people a chance to "virtually" hear the starting lineups of every World Series Game 1 from 1903 up into the fifties. This video gives the listener the unique opportunity to step back in time to hear what names such as Walter Johnson or Ty Cobb might have sounded in the stadium back in the day while providing unemployed Public Address Announcers the opportunity to announce classic baseball teams during the Coronavirus Crisis.
Since the first "Automatic Enunciators" were not installed until 1913 (Ebbets and Comiskey), most games featured megaphone men. Actual "Public Address Systems" did not come up about until 1919 during the Republican National Convention. These systems mostly piped music into the stadium. General use of P.A.

Systems played little role in baseball until the thirties. The modern recordings in these videos take the "just imagine" approach to allow us the listening pleasure of monikers like Mathewson and Baker by a professional announcer for the very first time.
Each video is dedicated to a different state's First Responders and Health Care Workers who have put their lives on the line to help all the rest of us survive through this trying period. For this, we thank them with these simple videos we hope will put a smile on their faces.
No money, in any form, was made off of this project. It was put together in gratitude and hope.
All announcers volunteered their time, in the spirit of coping, hope and fun, to perform. We thank each one for their time and gifting us some baseball from some games mostly forgotten.
publicaddressannouncer.org was founded by Matthew C. Wallace on the principal that anyone can be a public address announcer at a variety events. The site provides articles, jobs, free recruiting, searching abilities, forms, training materials and so much more, entirely free to the public.
