Fort Wayne Wizards
November 20, 2018
When the Kenosha (WI) Twins moved to Fort Wayne in late 1992, it marked the return of men’s pro baseball to the northeast Indiana city for the first time in 45 years. The Midwest League club dropped the “Twins” identity in favor of the more kid-friendly “Wizards” when it arrived in Fort Wayne. But the franchise remained a Class A farm club of the Minnesota Twins for six more seasons through 1998. The team changed names again to the TinCaps in 2009, a re-branding effort timed to coincide with the opening of $30 million Parkview Field that same year.
