A Class C town team in Ada, Minnesota
The Ada Athletics are an amateur baseball club from Ada, Minnesota, playing Class C ball in The Red River Amateur Baseball League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They finished the 2026 season 12-12 and play home games at Tony Sipe Field.
Keith Hanson manages, and also pitches, at fifty-four, which tells you most of what there is to know about town ball in a county of this size.
The MBA grades Ada at twelve classification points: two for the population of Ada itself, five for players, five for success. Twelve points is Class C, and the number is published rather than argued about, which is a more honest system than most leagues manage.
Ada sits in Norman County in the northwest corner of the state, close enough to the North Dakota line that half the league's road trips end in Fargo or Moorhead.
Twelve and twelve, Tony Sipe Field, and a fifty-four-year-old manager who pitches: none of that lives in one place, and High Cheese is where a club puts it.
