Throughout this celebratory 25th Anniversary Season, we look forward to continuing to bring the best possible experience to our players, personnel, and most of all our fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Northwoods League, the largest organized baseball league in the world with 20 teams, will begin summer collegiate baseball\u2019s most extensive schedule on\u00a0Tuesday, May 29.
