Baseball is back in Kalamazoo with the city's new team, the Kalamazoo Growlers. The Growlers are first year members of the Northwoods League, the country's premier summer collegiate baseball league. The Northwoods League was founded in 1994 with 5-teams in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Since that time, the league has expanded to 18-teams throughout Minnnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and Canada. From using a wooden bat to playing games every day, the Northwoods League gives collegiate players the opportunity to experience what life as a minor or major league player is like during their grueling season.
Players will play a grueling 72-game schedule over the course of 77 days in 2014. They will have the opportunity to play in front of Major League scouts, be coached by former minor/major league players and coaches, and play on teams with some of the best collegiate players from all across the country.
Some of Major League Baseball's top players began their path to stardom in the Northwoods League. Notable alumni include Max Scherzer, Curtis Granderson, Chris Sale,Drew Smyly, Andy Dirks, Allen Craig, Andre Ethier, and Fernando Rodriguez.
Entertainment comes first in the Northwoods League. Fans will get the complete minor league experience from crazy on-field promotions, to theme nights, to first-class concessions. Baseball fans will love the in-game product, but there is enough entertainment to make a night at the ballpark worthwhile for everyone.
