MCGA’s partnership with Saints hits big leagues

When the St. Paul Saints take the field tonight for their 2021 baseball season home opener, they will do so as the new Triple-A affiliate for the Minnesota Twins, bringing the Saints distinctive brand of fun to Major League Baseball all while showcasing our state’s top crop to fans. The Saints and Twins are separated by just 10.6 miles, the closest distance between any Minor League affiliate and their Major League parent club.

The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) has partnered with the St. Paul Saints to bring a positive message about agriculture and corn farming to fans at CHS Field since the ballpark opened in 2015. This year will be no exception.

Ballpark staples like the corn cob-themed foul poles and fan favorites like the “Aww-Shucks” moment of the game return, with MCGA donating $100 to the University of Minnesota Bee Lab for each error committed to be used for pollinator research and education. Radio ads, in-stadium announcements, giveaways and more will also take place throughout the season. Be sure to mark your calendar for MCGA Night with the Saints on Saturday, September 11.
