Since that time, the league has expanded to 22-teams throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Iowa, Canada, and Michigan. We are proud to be a part of the Kalamazoo community and play at Homer Stryker Field. Our ballpark is the perfect place for families, companies, parties, friends, and baseball fans alike.
