It took a tremendous amount of effort and dedication by the League and by our teams’ owners and front office staffs to provide our incredible brand of baseball and FUN during the season! Our great fans responded by showing up in big numbers for the much needed, fan-first entertainment and top tier play that we’re committed to providing night in and night out in each of our communities. For the 2021 season, we have continued to execute on our strategic growth and expansion plans, adding two new teams, the Canyon County Spuds in Caldwell, Idaho and the Mining City Tommyknockers in Butte, Montana. I’m thrilled about our upcoming 2021 season and I can’t wait for first pitch on May 25th!”
