About the Teams
Fort Wayne TinCaps
The Fort Wayne TinCaps are a Minor League Baseball team based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, competing in the Midwest League as the High-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Previously known as the Fort Wayne Wizards, the team was purchased by Hardball Capital in 2006, who partnered with the City of Fort Wayne to build their current home, Parkview Field. The TinCaps name pays homage to Johnny Appleseed (John Chapman), the folk hero who wore a tin pot as a hat and spent his final years in Fort Wayne. Fans can find the most up-to-date information on scores, schedules, stats, tickets, and team news on their official website
Cedar Rapids Kernels
