Veseli Warriors

Class C baseball in Veseli, Minnesota

The Veseli Warriors are an amateur baseball club from Veseli, Minnesota, playing Class C in the Dakota Rice Scott League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 13-14 in 2026 under manager Bill Dunker at the Veseli Ball Park.

Veseli is an unincorporated Rice County settlement founded by Czech immigrants, and the name means merry or cheerful in Czech. The ballpark is out on County Road 52 and filed under a Webster address, which is where the Webster Sox play from another unincorporated settlement four miles away.

Six classification points, and the Warriors are the Class C side in a division holding Elko at 21-7-2, Webster at 20-4, Union Hill at 16-8 and New Prague at 15-11. Twenty-seven games and one game under is a solid summer against that.

This league now has five clubs from places with no incorporated population: Veseli, Webster, Saint Benedict, Saint Patrick and Union Hill. One division is drawing half its teams from settlements that barely appear on a map.

A Czech settlement whose name means cheerful, playing the longest Class C schedule in its division. High Cheese gives Veseli the page where the name and the workload sit together.
