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).

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.

The 1962 club drew 109,000 fans, fourth in the six-team league.

Members of the O-Dodgers included Bill Lajoie, a future MLB front office executive (then an outfielder), and Pete Richert, who would forge a long career in baseball as a relief pitcher.
