About the American Association:

About The Frontier League:

In the winter of 1992-1993, several men got together and decided to start an independent professional baseball league to serve the West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southeast Ohio areas. They believed they could bring professional baseball to areas that would never have a chance of affiliated professional baseball coming to their communities. Since then, the league has had rapid expansion and now has 12 teams in 7 states.  The league begins play on May 20th.

About The Northern League:

The first Northern League began as an independent league in 1902. In 1993, the current day Northern League began play again.  Current franchises include Fargo-Moorhead, Gary, Joliet, Kansas City, Lake County, Rockford, Schaumburg, and Winnipeg. The league begins play on May 20th.
