St. Cloud, Minnesota has hosted baseball for decades at a variety of play levels. The most recent history takes place in the Northwoods League. In 1997, one of the founding franchises, the Dubuque Mud Puppies, relocated to St. Cloud, Minnesota and became the St. Cloud River Bats. The St. Cloud River Bats were a premier team in the Northwoods League, winning 3 league championships, one North Division overall championship, and 3 First Half North Division pennants.
In February 2012, the Northwoods League sold the team rights to a local interest group while reserving the rights to the name and logo. The St. Cloud franchise played the 2012 season as the St. Cloud Rox, hearkening back to a popular minor league team that played in the city until 1971.
Rox games can be heard on 1390 KXSS.
