Bonus ALCS Fact:
The Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays were the first and last parent club of the Midwest League team that used to be in Battle Creek.
The Michigan Battle Cats were the Midwest League affiliate of the Red Sox from 1995-1998. The Southwest Michigan Devil Rays were in Battle Creek for 2005 and 2006 as the affiliate of the (at the time) Devil Rays.
After the '06 season, the Battle Creek franchise moved to Midland and the Rays left for the South Atlantic League.
