Maysville Rivermen

The Maysville Rivermen were a minor league baseball team based in Maysville, Kentucky, that played in the Blue Grass League. The team’s name pays tribute to the city’s historic connection to the Ohio River, a vital hub for commerce and transportation in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Maysville was a major shipping port during the steamboat era, known for exporting tobacco, hemp, and bourbon. The "Rivermen" nickname likely refers to the many locals who worked as boatmen, ferrymen, or traders on the river.

The team played during the early 1900s when small-town baseball leagues flourished across Kentucky and the surrounding region. The Rivermen played in the Blue Grass League from 1910-13 and a young 19-year old Casey Stengel featured for the Rivermen during the 1910 season. It was the start of a Hall of Fame career for the future major leaguer.
