The fans that attended the 2011 Summer Collegiate World Series helped the Northwoods League top the 900,000 mark in attendance for the first time. In fact, no other Summer Collegiate Baseball League can make that claim. The 1,946 fans that were on hand for the championship series games in Mankato and Battle Creek capped off a Northwoods League season that saw 901,652 fans attend Northwoods League baseball games, a 1,692 per game average.

New York Yankees centerfielder Curtis Granderson was a big hit at Friday morning’s first Northwoods League Foundation free youth baseball clinic. The two-time American League All-Star and 2011 MVP candidate talked baseball with the more than 50 kids that took advantage of the great opportunity to learn from a Major Leaguer.
