Class C baseball in Freeport, Minnesota
The Freeport Black Sox are an amateur baseball club from Freeport, Minnesota, playing Class C in the Victory C League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 7-13 in 2026 under manager Robert Mettenburg at Black Sox Park.
The ballpark is named after the club. Not a founder, not a benefactor, not a war. Freeport has Black Sox Park because Freeport has the Black Sox, and that is the whole derivation.
This is the third Black Sox in the Minnesota set, after Alexandria and Carver. Three separate Minnesota towns independently named themselves after the 1919 Chicago White Sox, the most notorious club in the history of the sport, and none of them has reconsidered.
Twelve classification points for a Stearns County town of about seven hundred. Seven wins in the deepest town ball county in the country is a fair return.
The ballpark is named after the team, which is the shortest derivation in this directory. High Cheese gives Freeport the page where that reads as character rather than a data entry.
