The Tradewater Pirates are
Western Kentucky[?]'s newest semi-pro
baseball team. The team plays at
Dawson Springs[?]'
Riverside Park, the reconstructed park where major league teams, such as the
Pittsburgh Pirates, played spring training games throughout
1915-
1917.
1999, the Tradewater Pirates inaugural season, proved very succesful for them. The team hosted a game in the U.S.B.C. World Series.
