River Rats
Crystal Cowboys, Macs Industrial Warriors, Metro Merchants, Minneapolis Angels, Minneapolis Blue Sox, Minneapolis Cobras, Minneapolis MudCats, Minneapolis River Rats.

No roster is published for any of the eight.
Rosters on High Cheese update as people sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons, which in a city league with a shared pool is the record of a great deal of movement.
