The Paducah Little Colonels were a minor league baseball team from Paducah, Kentucky, that played in the Class C Central League in 1897.

Team history

On January 18, 1897, the Paducah Little Colonels were formed as a charter member of the Class C Central League.[1] Joining the Little Colonels in the six-team league were the Cairo Egyptians, Evansville Brewers, Nashville Centennials, Terre Haute Hottentots, and Washington Browns.[2] Paducah's uniforms were old gold and maroon.[1]

Severe financial problems throughout the circuit forced the league to disband on July 20. As of July 19, the final day of play, the Little Colonels were in fourth place with a 31–35 (.470) record.[1]
