From 1956 to 2020, they were members ofMinor League Baseball'sMidwest League. WithMajor League Baseball's reorganization of the minor leagues after the 2020 season, Clinton was not selected to continue in affiliated baseball.

The LumberKings play in the Prospect League's Western Conference – Northwest Division along with theBurlington Bees,Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp, andQuincy Doggy Paddlers.[4]

Clinton baseball history

[edit]

After beginning play in 1895,Clinton had sporadic teams in various leagues over the next few decades, as the Great Depression, World War I and World War II affected many baseball franchises. However, Clinton joined the Midwest League in 1956 and is now the oldest franchise in the league.[1] The team has had several different major league affiliations: theBrooklyn Dodgers (1937–38),New York Giants (1939–41),Chicago Cubs (1947–49),Pirates (1954–58 and 1966–68),White Sox (1959–65),Pilots/Brewers (1969–70),Tigers (1971–75), Tigers/White Sox co-op (1976),Dodgers (1977–79),Giants (1980–94),Padres (1995–98),Reds (1999–2000),Expos (2001–02), andRangers (2003–08), andMariners (2009–18). In September 2018, they entered into a two-year player development contract with theMiami Marlins.[5]

Aside from its time as the C-Sox (1960–65) and the Pilots (1966–76), the team used the parent major league team's nickname before adopting the LumberKings name for the 1994 season.

The 2010 LumberKings season was the subject of the 2013 book "Class A: Baseball in the Middle of Everywhere" by Lucas Mann.[6][7]

In 2016, led by first year managerMitch Canham, the LumberKings won 86 games to set the mark for most in a regular season by any team in Clinton franchise history. The squad went on to sweep thePeoria Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs before defeating theCedar Rapids Kernels in a thrilling three-game series. Game three of the Western Division final ended with aRicky Eusebio walk off hit to win 1–0 in extra innings. The LumberKings would fall, however, in the Midwest League Championship in four games to theGreat Lakes Loons.

In addition to playing host to the franchise record setting LumberKings (86-54), the LumberKings transformed their ballpark overnight following game two of the Midwest League Championship to become a football field. The LumberKings played host toCamanche High School Football in the inaugural "LumberBowl." Camanche hostedWilliamsburg High School in the game on September 16, 2016. The Raiders of Williamsburg defeated the Indians 55–7.

Following the 2020 season, the LumberKings were cut from the Midwest League and affiliated baseball as part ofMajor League Baseball's reorganization of the minor leagues.[8] They later joined theProspect League, acollegiate summer baseball league, for 2021.[9]
