Class B baseball in Hamel, Minnesota
The Hamel Hawks are an amateur baseball club from Hamel, Minnesota, playing Class B in the North Star League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 10-17 in 2026 under manager Jeff Ruhr at Paul Fortin Field.
Thirty-two classification points is the top of Class B in this set, ahead of Carver and Eagle Lake at thirty-one, which puts Hamel on the Class A boundary. Twenty-seven games is a long season and seven games under is a hard way to play it.
Hamel is a community inside Medina, in Hennepin County west of Minneapolis, and it has kept its own name and its own baseball club through being absorbed by a larger city, which is a common enough story here and a slightly stubborn one.
This is the second Hawks in two entries, after Hamburg, and the fourth in the Minnesota set.
A community absorbed by Medina that kept its own name and its own club. High Cheese gives Hamel the page that says so, which no league table ever will.
