Babe Ruth hit his first major league home run at Hanlan’s Point Stadium in Toronto. It landed in Lake Ontario and is believed to still be there.

After a winning season with Coach Drake, the 2022 Northwoods League baseball champions the Kalamazoo Growlers seek their next kid coach.

I recently came across an article clipping that suggested at one time the Detroit Tigers almost left the sacred ballfield to play in a domed stadium in Detroit. That means we may have never seen them win their last championship in 1984.

Congratulations for former Growler David Hensley for snagging a World Series Win in his Rookie Year with the Houston Astros.

Sadly on October 11th, 1983, while drinking he slipped and hit his head on a dock on Beaver Island, causing him to drown.

The Kalamazoo Growlers have just announced they will be releasing a multi-episode documentary which will touch on the team's history, but primarily on their shocking and Cinderella-story like Championship run in the 2022 Season.

From this little community in Benton Harbor, MI came a baseball team that has been cherished for over 100 years and is celebrated in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

MLB is unlikely to hold a Field of Dreams game in Iowa in 2023. The next best thing is waiting at this historic field in Indiana.

Even now, it's still a remarkable story. Ron LeFlore, who was doing hard time armed robbery at the Jackson State Prison got a chance at redemption and made the most of it, and on this date in 1974, made his debut with the Detroit Tigers.

The game attracted not only the best of the best, but also a packed house of some 49,000 fans. The National Leaguers wore special uniforms that afternoon. The American League players word their home whites.
