History
editThe Greenheads came into being after the 1999 Northwoods League season, when the Southern Minny Stars relocated due to economic problems.[2] Corbett Field had previously hosted a Prairie League team called the Minot Mallards, which itself shared a name with previous affiliated minor league baseball teams. The Greenheads name and identity similarly referred to mallard ducks. The league's expansion to Minot increased travel distances to a point where every NWL club traveled by coach bus for the first time.[3]
The Greenheads only played one season in the NWL before ceasing operations.[3] They posted a record of 22-42[citation needed] and did not have a single player go on to reach Major League Baseball.[4]
