Frontier League

From Free net encyclopedia

The Frontier League is a minor league baseball Independent league which operates in the Midwest. Its members are not affiliated with any Major League Baseball teams. Though not part of the official minor league system, its level of play is considered about equal to A-level.

The league was formed in 1993. The first league champions were Zanesville. Only three teams have won more than one championship: Springfield in 1996 and 1998, Johnstown in 1995 and 2000 and Richmond (now Traverse City) in 2001 and 2002.

The owner of the Florence Freedom was indicted on fraud in 2004, but another local businessman bought the team, and it is currently financially stable, and is not moving or folding. The Freedom now play their games at the finished Champion Window Field.
