Class C baseball in Heron Lake, Minnesota
The Heron Lake Lakers are an amateur baseball club from Heron Lake, Minnesota, playing Class C in the First Nite League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 0-16 in 2026 under manager Chad Knutson at Laker Field.
Zero wins in sixteen games. It is the only winless season anywhere in this set, and there is no way to write around it.
What it also means is that a Jackson County town of about six hundred people put nine men on a field sixteen separate times, in a summer where every single one of those afternoons ended the same way, and then turned up the following week and did it again. Nobody was going to be talked into that by a standings table.
Five classification points is near the floor of Class C. The ballpark address is 90917 380th Avenue, which is a rural route number rather than a street, out where the grid runs to five digits.
Sixteen games, no wins, and nine men on the field every single time. High Cheese gives Heron Lake the page where the second half of that sentence is the one that counts.
