Willmar Rails

Class B baseball in Willmar, Minnesota

The Willmar Rails are an amateur baseball club from Willmar, Minnesota, playing Class B in the Corn Belt League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 8-11 in 2026 under manager Gunnar Banks at Baker Diamond at Bill Taunton Stadium.

Willmar was built by the Great Northern Railway and was a division point on the line to the Pacific, which is where the Rails get their name. It is one of the last club names in this directory that still describes what the town does.

Thirty-one classification points, and Willmar fields a second club: the Willmar Indians play Class B in the same league at twenty-two points and went 4-16. One city of about twenty-one thousand, two Class B sides, both under .500.

The ballpark's full name carries a diamond inside a stadium, which is the association recording both the field and the ground it sits in.

Named for the Great Northern division point that built the town, one of two clubs splitting one city's players. High Cheese gives the Rails a page separate from the Indians'.
