Bosse Field in Evansville, IN is the oldest minor league baseball stadium in the United States. It is the 3rd oldest ballpark overall (1915), being newer than only Wrigley Field (1914 - Chicago Cubs) and Fenway Park (1912 - Boston Red Sox).
Bosse Field is home to the Evansville Otters, an independant minor league team with no affiliation with a Major League organization. The stadium has also, in the past, been home to the Evansville Triplets, the AAA team for the Minnesota Twins.
Because of its historic significance, the movie "A League Of Their Own" was partially filmed here, as the hometown field for the Racine Belles.
