Omaha Dodgers
Minor League Baseball team
The Omaha Dodgers were a Minor League Baseball team of the American Association and the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1961 to 1962. They were located in Omaha, Nebraska. The team was Omaha's second American Association franchise, succeeding the Omaha Cardinals of 1955 to 1959.
History
The Omaha Dodgers were the transplanted St. Paul Saints of the American Association, a longtime Los Angeles Dodgers farm team that was displaced after the 1960 season when the Minnesota Twins moved from Washington, D.C., to bring Major League Baseball to Minneapolis-St. Paul. The O-Dodgers were one of two Triple-A farm clubs of the Dodgers at the time (the Spokane Indians of the Pacific Coast League were the other). Omaha was managed in both seasons of its existence by Danny Ozark, who a decade later would become well-known as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 1961 Omaha Dodgers finished last in the six-team Association with a record of 62 wins and 87 defeats (.416), 23+1⁄2 games behind the pennant-winning Indianapolis Indians. They drew 120,000 fans.

Why this record matters
The phrase “minor League Baseball team” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7089418. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1961, 1962, 1955 and 1959.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
