Since 1977
Indianapolis Indians vs. Columbus Clippers
The Midwest's Triple-A rivalry
The rivalry between the Indianapolis Indians and Columbus Clippers is the longest-running and most competitive Triple-A matchup in the American Midwest, spanning nearly five decades since Columbus joined the International League in 1977. Separated by fewer than 180 miles along Interstate 70, these two clubs have been divisional rivals through multiple league restructurings, and their meetings consistently produce some of the most competitive and well-attended games on either team's schedule.
