Major League Baseball is considering hosting a game at Evansville’s Bosse Field

ajor League Baseball wants to come to Evansville.

It has intentions to schedule a regular-season game at historic Bosse Field, the third-oldest ballpark still in regular use for professional baseball, surpassed only by Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. It would be the first MLB game ever played in Indiana.

The catch? It will take at least another year to become a reality.

“We’re really excited that Major League Baseball is considering Evansville for a special event game,” Mayor Lloyd Winnecke said. “We’ve been working toward a date – we thought we had one for 2023 – but in the last week, based on MLB’s changing schedules, that date is not going to happen.

“The good news is MLB is still very interested in Evansville. They love Bosse Field and they are really trying to figure out how to work us into their special event schedule.”
