The St. Paul Saints are a professional minor league baseball team that plays in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The current team was formed in 1993 in the Northern League, one of several so-called independent leagues--i.e., not affiliated with Major League Baseball. The Saints, who play home games at Midway Stadium, are known for promotions that are over-the-top even by the standards of minor-league baseball. The principal owner, Mike Veeck, is the son of legendary major-league owner Bill Veeck, who was best-known for outrageous promotions as owner of the St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox. Comedian and actor Bill Murray is also a part owner. Image File history File linksMetadata SaintsMikeMeyer. ... Image File history File linksMetadata SaintsMikeMeyer. ...

In spite of considerable naysaying at their inception, the Saints have been one of the most successful teams in the Northern League and all of independent baseball. For much of their history the team played to packed houses at Midway Stadium. In 2002-2004, the Saints saw severely reduced attendance, owing partially to renewed interest in the major-league Minnesota Twins, who won the 2002, 2003, and 2004 American League Central Division championships. In spite of an initially cool, if not outright hostile, reception the Saints and their MLB neighbor (less than 10 miles away) have worked together for several years in hopes of increasing support for the sport of baseball (for their mutual benefit).

The Saints have figured prominently in the creation of modern independent baseball. They were featured in a couple books ("Rebel Baseball" by Steve Perlstein, 1993; "Slouching Toward Fargo" by Neal Karlen, 1998) and a cable network series ("Baseball Minnesota," FX Network, 1996-97). Mike Veeck wrote a book that covered the mantra "Fun is Good" (2005) and describes the business approach he has used for many years.

A major factor in the continued success of the Saints in the face of the Twins' presence is the fact that Midway Stadium, the Saints' home field, is an open-air facility; many Twins fans have bemoaned the unfairness of being forced to go indoors to watch a baseball game on a warm Minnesota summer evening. Another is the love of tailgating by fans in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

  • In April 2006, the Saints announced that rubber boats would be given out during a May 27, 2006 game, ostensibly to honor 30th anniversary of the television show The Love Boat. However, details of the promotion indicate that it is intended as a jab at the 2005 boat scandal involving the Minnesota Vikings, where several members of the team were allegedly involved in illicit behavior on a private cruise. The promotional rubber boats use the same color as the Vikings uniforms (purple and yellow) and are named Minnetonka Queen (a reference to Lake Minnetonka, where the cruise took place).[1]

St. Paul Saints (1884-1899)

As described in Lee Allen's book, The American League Story (Putnam, 1962), the team began as the Sioux City franchise in a minor league called the Western League. The WL had reorganized itself in November, 1893, with Ban Johnson as President. Johnson, a Cincinnati-based reporter, had been recommended by his friend Charles Comiskey, former major league star with the St. Louis Browns in the 1880s, who was then managing the Cincinnati Reds. After the 1894 season, when Comiskey's contract with the Reds was up, he decided to take his chances at ownership. He bought the Sioux City team and transferred it to St. Paul, where it enjoyed some success over the next 5 seasons.

St. Paul Saints (1900-1960)

Another team called the Saints played minor league baseball as the farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers in St. Paul until 1960. That team played in the American Association along with its crosstown rivals the Minneapolis Millers (farm club of the New York Giants). Both teams folded when the Minnesota Twins came to town in 1961. Lexington Park served as the home stadium for most of those years.
