Class C baseball in Albert Lea, Minnesota
The Albert Lea Express are an amateur baseball club from Albert Lea, Minnesota, playing Class C in the Southern Minny Corn Belt League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 7-8 in 2026 under manager Brad Skinness at Hayek Field.
Eighteen classification points is the ceiling of Class C. Albert Lea are as close to Class B as a club can be without being in it, and one good summer takes the decision out of their hands.
Albert Lea sits on Interstate 35 twenty miles from the Iowa line, a town of eighteen thousand with a lake in the middle of it. Big enough that the population points alone push the Express toward the top of their grade.
Eighteen points puts Albert Lea one good season from Class B, which is worth saying somewhere the club controls. High Cheese is that somewhere.
