Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The FOX 9 Town Ball Tour's excursion to River Falls, Wisconsin, may seem like a departure from its usual Minneapolis -St. Paul focus, but it actually underscores the strong connections between the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. Many Minneapolis residents have ties to the area, whether through work, family, or recreation, and the tour's stop in River Falls reflects the regional nature of local sports fandom. The Fighting Fish, as the home team, will likely draw some fans from the east metro area of the Twin Cities, who will make the short trip to cheer them on against the Hudson River Rats. This game also highlights the amateur baseball scene in the upper Midwest, which is known for its passionate followers and community-oriented teams. As the tour showcases the best of town ball in the region, it's a reminder that the love of baseball knows no state borders.
