They join four other teams in reaching the 2 million mark in modern Northern League history: the St. Paul Saints, Winnipeg Goldeyes, Schaumburg Flyers and Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. "The Kansas City T-Bones ownership had the foresight and drive to move the Duluth franchise to Kansas City when no one else did,” Northern League Director of Baseball Operations Harry Stavrenos said. “It is a daunting task to start-up everything anew and to keep the momentum going for all of these years.” Over this span, the T-Bones are second in the Northern League and in the top five of all independent baseball teams in attendance. “They and their staff and players are to be congratulated,” Stavrenos added. “We are all proud that they are members of the Northern League." |
