Sioux Falls Fighting Pheasants
December 11, 2017
Sioux Falls, South Dakota has been a long-time pillar of the independent baseball movement. The local team, the Canaries, have played nearly 30 seasons since forming as one of the original members of the Northern League in 1993. There was a three-year interruption, however, from 2010 to 2012, when new owners took over the Canaries franchise and re-branded the team as the “Fighting Pheasants”. Once this group financially exhausted itself, another group took over and returned the team to the traditional Canaries name in 2013.
