Vintage Indiana Shirts: Defunct Indiana Baseball Teams
Indiana's baseball history runs through the Central League towns of Fort Wayne, South Bend, Anderson, and Richmond, down the Wabash Valley to Terre Haute, and into the state's southwest corner, where Evansville fielded the River Rats and Vincennes played in the KITTY League as the Alices. Hall of Famer Jim Bunning made his professional debut in Richmond in 1950, on the franchise that had played as the Richmond Roses. In 1995 independent professional baseball came to the Calumet Region with the East Chicago Conquistadors and the Merrillville Muddogs, who were managed by former Rookie of the Year Ron Kittle, and to Anderson with the Lawmen, who played three seasons at Memorial Field.
Our vintage Indiana shirts honor these defunct clubs with original designs grounded in real research.
