NWL’s Kenosha dubbed as Kingfish in celebratory unveiling

kingfish2Today, the new Kenosha team in the Northwoods League unveiled their logo and name.  They will be called the Kingfish and you can find them at their new website at http://www.kingfishbaseball.com/

From the Northwoods League website:

A new era of baseball will begin at a renovated Simmons Field on May 31, 2013. The ownership of the franchise announced the name of the team, unveiled the logo and gave fans a first look at the new Simmons Field. A public-private partnership between the City of Kenosha and the Kingfish has resulted in more than $1 million in improvements to historic Simmons Field making it one of the premiere baseball facilities in the state of Wisconsin. Nearly 90 percent of the renovations are complete with the rest slated to be finished by opening day in May of 2014.

As I mentioned yesterday, this most relevant since Illini players J.D. Nielsen and Zack Kolakowski are the first to claim membership to the expansion team in the NWL.
