St. Paul Saints

The St. Paul Saints are a professional minor league baseball team that plays in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The current team was formed in 1993 in the Northern League, one of several so-called independent leagues--i.e., not affiliated with Major League Baseball. The Saints, who play home games at Midway Stadium, are known for promotions that are over-the-top even by the standards of minor-league baseball. The principal owner, Mike Veeck, is the son of legendary major-league owner Bill Veeck, who was best-known for outrageous promotions as owner of the St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox.

Another team called the Saints played minor league baseball in St. Paul until 1960. That team played in the American Association along with its crosstown rivals the Minneapolis Millers. Both teams folded when the Minnesota Twins came to town in 1961.
