Evansville White Sox

The Evansville White Sox were a minor league baseball team based in Evansville, Indiana, that played in the Class-AA Southern League from 1966 to 1968.[1]

The team moved to Evansville from Lynchburg, Virginia in 1966, retaining their affiliation with the Chicago White Sox.[1][2][3] They played three seasons in Evansville before moving again, this time to Columbus, Georgia, where they became the Columbus White Sox starting in the 1969 season.[1][4]

They played their home games at Bosse Field, the third-oldest professional baseball park in the United States, which opened in 1915.[5][6]
