Founded in 2001 to replace Madison in the Northern League, the Saltdogs were immediately successful, reaching the league finals in their inaugural season. After five seasons, they were one of four clubs to leave the NoL to found the American Association. They found quick success there as well, reaching the playoffs in four of the first five AA seasons and hoisting the Miles Wolff Cup in 2009.

Curt Smith spent eight seasons (2011, ’13, ’15-19, ’21) in Lincoln, retiring as the club’s all-time leader in games (666), hits (794), runs (384), doubles (151), home runs (96), and RBI (441). He was inducted into the American Association Hall of Fame in 2024 (Photo: Lincoln Saltdogs)
