Modern Townball (Upper Midwest)
In the upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.) "townball" is a regional colloquialism for the dozens of rural amateur baseball leagues spanning the states. Typically, a town will field one or perhaps two teams made up of college students and working men from the area. These "town teams" play "townball" during the summer in leagues of similar teams from neighboring towns and small cities.
