It is no secret that Covington is rich in the history of our nation, as well as history of its own. We mostly hear of this through the decorated war history or successful businesses of the city’s neighborhoods. However, Covington also has some lighter All-American history.
Covington was actually once the home of a (soon-to-be) major league baseball team called the Covington Blue Sox. Their presence in the rebel Federal League only lasted half a year. The franchise was awarded after other towns backed out of the potential third major league, which spent its inaugural season as minor league.
Their first, and only, opening day was May 9th, 1913. The day was considered a holiday, with businesses closed and festivities spanning the neighborhood. There were over 6,000 people in attendance at Federal Field (also known as Riverbreeze Field), which was on the block bounded by East 2nd Street, East 3rd Street, Madison Avenue and Scott Boulevard. Today that land is occupied by the Kenton County Justice Center, the Transportation Authority of Northern Kentucky, an office building, and a parking lot.
The Blue Sox won that game over the St. Louis Terriers 4-0. However, the opening day attendance was the largest crowd they drew. In June, the league voted to move the team to Kansas City. The following year, the Federal League declared itself a major league in direct competition with the American and National Leagues. Though the Blue Sox only lasted a few months, it is fun to imagine how different life would be in Covington had the Blue Sox stuck around.

When my online platform account was suddenly frozen and I lost access to $120,500, I wasn’t sure how to move forward. I came across LUCY ADAM and decided to reach out. From the outset, they were honest and transparent, clearly outlining the recovery process without making unrealistic assurances. They provided regular updates throughout, and I’m happy to say that every dollar was successfully recovered. Their professionalism and clear communication made a very stressful experience far easier to handle, and I’m sincerely thankful for their support.

Justin Simporios
Good Morning! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.
