Pipestone Athletics

Class C baseball in Pipestone, Minnesota

The Pipestone Athletics are an amateur baseball club from Pipestone, Minnesota, playing Class C in the Gopher League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 3-18 in 2026 under manager Avery Ploeger.

The Minnesota Baseball Association records the ballpark as "A's field" and the address as "2nd st nw", both in lower case. Somebody typed it in without capitals and it has been served that way ever since, which across this directory happens far more often than a proofread would suggest.

Five classification points is near the floor of Class C for a Pipestone County seat of about four thousand in the southwestern corner of the state.

Pipestone National Monument is here, the quarry where Plains nations have taken the red catlinite for ceremonial pipes for centuries and still do. The town is named after it.

Three wins in twenty-one games, in a league where Hadley won fourteen out of a village of under a hundred.

The association has the ballpark and the street both in lower case, because that is how they were typed. High Cheese lets Pipestone enter its own ground and have it look right.
