New Frontier schedule will lack variety
Evansville Courier & Press - Nov 16, 2003
"The [Kenosha] Mammoths, who moved from Dubois County to Kenosha last year, are the Frontier League's weak link. After averaging just 636 people per home date last summer, they're in the market for a new home.

That's why the 2004 league schedule won't be officially released until the Kenosha situation is settled - perhaps by mid-December. Insiders say negotiations are ongoing between the Mammoths' owners and three Midwestern cities: Springfield, Ohio, Springfield, Mo., and the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, Mo."

Evansville not only city where Frontier League thrives
Evansville Courier-Press - Nov 6, 2003
"There has been speculation the Kenosha franchise will be moved to the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, Mo., perhaps as early as next season. However, insiders say 2005 is a more likely target date. [Frontier League Commissioner Bill] Lee declined to discuss the Kenosha situation, saying he'll know more after the weekend."

T-Bones Reliever Gets Choice World Cup Role
T-Bones Press Release - Oct 14, 2003
"T-Bones relief pitcher D.J. Johnson, who went 7-2 with 17 saves while posting a 2.45 ERA for the T-Bones in 2003, is proving to be an integral part of the U.S. World Cup team, which is contesting for the 35th World Cup title at four sites in Cuba. On October 12th, Johnson hurled a scoreless inning in Team USA’s 4-0 win over Mexico."

Northern League mulling extended season
Lincoln Journal-Star - Oct 11, 2003

"Northern League owners are expected to extend the baseball season by six games during the league's fall meetings, which will be held today and Saturday in Kansas City, Kan. By adding six games to the schedule, the Northern League season will increase to 96 games. The main reason the league wants to add more games is to keep up with the Atlantic League, a rival independent league that plays a 120-game schedule."

"Another issue on the docket for the owners to hash out is realignment. Two proposals are on the table:One would keep the 2003 divisions intact, while the other would set up a North-South alignment in which Lincoln and Kansas City would be grouped with the three Chicago-area teams."

Another minor-league team hopes to play ball in KC
Kansas City Star - Oct 7, 2003
"Word has it that the Frontier League is looking to expand into Kansas City — Lee's Summit, specifically — at least by 2005. Perhaps sooner. The Frontier League is a 12-team league similar to the Northern League, home to the Kansas City T-Bones. 'I think there's plenty of room in the Kansas City area for more baseball,' Frontier League commissioner Bill Lee said by phone Monday. 'For one thing, we're 40 miles from (the T-Bones).'

But the Royals, of course, would be far closer in proximity. 'We don't consider ourselves competition for the Royals,” Lee said. “We'd consider ourselves an asset.' In fact, last month the Royals signed left-hander Matt Schweitzer from the Richmond (Ind.) Roosters from the Frontier League."

Kansas City's new minor league team calls first season a success
Duluth News Tribune - Sep 1, 2003
"But despite the presence of major league competition - the Kansas City Royals and its unexpected presence in the AL Central pennant race - the T-Bones' drew 209,082 fans to CommunityAmerica Ballpark. That was good for the fourth-best attendance in the 10-team Northern League, and about four times better than the franchise's attendance last year in Duluth, Minn."

T-Bones still in playoff hunt with win
Kansas City Star - Aug 27, 2003
"The T-Bones refuse to go away.

Just when it looks as if they will lose all hopes for the playoffs, they come alive. That was the case Tuesday night, as the T-Bones routed the Sioux City Explorers 10-0 in Iowa.

With the win, coupled with a loss by Fargo-Moorhead, the T-Bones are four games back with five to play."

T-Bones blank Explorers
Sioux City Journal - Aug 27, 2003
"Ray Brown drove in four runs and league RBI leader Eddie Pearson plated three more for the T-Bones, the last team still mathematically alive in the West Division's second-half race.

The first-year Kansas City club, relocating from Duluth, Minn., has a 21-19 second-half mark while division-leading Fargo-Moorhead was 25-15 after a 9-3 loss to Lincoln.

That pulled the T-Bones within four games of first, but they have only five left to play, virtually playing themselves out of it with three losses in a four-game series ending Monday in Fargo."

Surf adding players for playoff surge
Press of Atlantic City - Aug 24, 2003
"The spotlight often seems to focus on the Atlantic League when people discuss independent baseball graduates who now play for major-league franchises. But another independent circuit, the Frontier League, actually has the most former players currently in the 30 major league organizations, regardless of classification.

Of the 179 one-time independent players now in affiliated baseball, 60 of them played in the Frontier League, a 12-team league that focuses on young players (under-27) with less than four years of professional experience.

The Northern League is second with 43 and the Atlantic League has 42. Both have seven major leaguers."

How the T-Bones Can Make the Finals
T-Bones Press Release - Aug 22, 2003
"Here is how the Northern League determines who goes to the finals. The teams who were in first place from each of the divisions for the first half of the season will play the teams who are in first place in each division for the second half. The St. Paul Saints were in first place in the Eastern Division for the first half, and the Fargo Moorhead Redhawks were in first place in the first half for the Western Division. (The T-Bones are in the Western Division.) If a team is in first place for both halves of the season, then the wild card spot goes to the team from either division who has the best record overall for the whole season."

T-Bones preparing for home stretch
Kansas City Star - Aug 22, 2003
"Because Fargo finished the first half atop the Western Division standings, the T-Bones would still qualify for the playoffs if they finish the second half in second place."

This is incorrect. If Fargo-Moorhead were to win both halves, the playoff spot would go to the team with the best overall record in either division that failed to win a half. The T-Bones are currently 5 games behind Schaumburg for that final playoff spot. With only ten games left in the season, Kansas City's best chance for the playoffs is to win the 2nd half outright. Last Tuesday the Star also incorrectly reported the Northern League playoff scenario (a correction was included the following day). Not to be left out, the Kansas City Kansan also misrepresented the playoff picture last Thursday. For an accurate Northern League playoff picture look to the Winnipeg Sun and the Arlington Heights Daily Herald.

Tax break approved for arena
Olathe Daily News - Aug 20, 2003
"Plans for an 8,000-seat arena, a first-class hotel, a conference center and large retail stores in Olathe advanced Tuesday when the City Council created a tax increment financing district on 114 acres south of 119th Street near Interstate 35."

"The layout of the site plan changed significantly after a minor league baseball stadium was removed from the picture. Still, [John] Petersen said, the cost for the remaining components is about the same, approximately $140 million. The arena and the 280-to-300-suite hotel make up about $87 million of that amount."

T-Bones hold off Canaries on a wild and crazy night
Kansas City Star - Aug 15, 2003
"Thursday turned out to be one weird evening at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Elvises (or would it be Elvi?) roamed the joint. A couple calling themselves Queen Eleanor and Prince Eric, dressed in Renaissance clothing, sang the national anthem. A sudden downpour caused a 29-minute delay. And the T-Bones beat the Sioux Falls Canaries by a foot or two."

T-Bones Claim Tie For First Place With 5-4 Win
T-Bones Press Release - Aug 14, 2003
"Eddie stepped to the plate in the bottom of the third inning and belted a Richie Burgess (2-6) pitch over the right field wall for his thirteenth home run of the season. The home run, his third in four games, now ties him with Tim Flaherty and Harry Berrios for the league lead. His three RBIs in the game tie him with Wes Chamberlain for the league lead in that category. Those stats, coupled with his league lead in hitting give Eddie a solid chance at the triple crown."

"The win gives Kansas City an impressive 7-3 on their ten game homestand. They have now won their last seven home series. With Fargo’s loss to Joliet earlier in the day, the T-Bones sit tied atop the Western Division standings with a 17-12 record."

Canaries Fall In Finale At Kansas City
Canaries Press Release - Aug 14, 2003
"The Canaries made things interesting in the late innings, but RHP D.J. Johnson managed to stifle the Birds’ ninth-inning rally and pick up his 16th save, sending Sioux Falls to a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Kansas City T-Bones.

After striking out SS Ron Bush, Johnson walked 1B Ali Modami and PH Rich Rodrigues, bringing 2B Curt Lee to the plate with the go-ahead run on first. Lee flew out to the wall in left, just missing extra bases, which brought CF Tyrone Pendergrass to the plate, who was back in his usual spot atop the order. Pendergrass launched a fly ball to deep left, but saw it leave the ballpark foul by mere feet and grounded back to the pitcher to end the Canaries’ threat and the game."

'We held about a third of the tickets for walk-up traffic,' Ehlert said. 'We wanted to make sure that people who just wanted to come out for a night at the ballpark could do that.' "

Sigley Goes the Distance In Kansas City's 9-1 Rout
T-Bones Press Release - Aug 13, 2003
"Jayson Sigley earned his fourth win of the season by pitching a complete game in Kansas City’s 9-1 victory over Sioux Falls Wednesday night. Sigley scattered nine hits and struck out five in his first complete game effort of the season.

The Kansas City bats, seemingly dormant only a night ago, exploded for sixteen hits against Canaries’ pitching. Eddie Pearson and Rodney Clifton led the way with three hits and two RBIs each. Eight of the nine batters in the Kansas City lineup had multi-hit games and all nine batters reached base at some point. The T-Bones fell just three hits shy of their season record of nineteen hits, which they accomplished July 18 at Sioux Falls."
