(also known as Cedar Rapids Baseball Club, Inc.).[3][4][5]Table of ContentsCedar Rapids baseball history[edit]Ballpark[edit]Notable alumni[edit]References[edit]Sources[edit]External links[edit]Cedar Rapids baseball history[edit]Cedar Rapids first began play in 1890 and have played 110 seasons through 2015. The franchise has been a member of various leagues preceding the Midwest League. They have been a member of the Central Association (1949), Western League (1934\u20131937), Mississippi Valley League (1922\u20131932), Central Association (1913\u20131917), Illinois\u2013Indiana\u2013Iowa League (1901\u20131909, 1920\u20131921, 1938\u20131942, 1950\u20131961), Western Association (1896\u20131899), Eastern Iowa League (1895) and the Illinois\u2013Iowa League (1890\u20131891).[6] The team also had numerous nicknames prior to joining the Midwest League:  Cedar Rapids Braves (1958\u20131962), Cedar Rapids Raiders (1953\u20131957), Cedar Rapids Indians (1950\u20131952), Cedar Rapids Rockets (1949), Cedar Rapids Raiders (1934\u20131942), Cedar Rapids Red Raiders (1963\u20131964), Cedar Rapids Bunnies (1904\u20131932), Cedar Rapids Rabbits (1896\u20131903) and Cedar Rapids Canaries (1890\u20131891).[6]When Cedar Rapids was awarded a Midwest League franchise in 1962,  the franchise switched back to the Red Raiders (1962\u20131964) nickname. Subsequently, the team used the name of the major league franchise it affiliated with: the Cardinals (1965\u20131972), the Astros (1973\u20131974), the Giants (1975\u20131979), and the Reds (1980\u20131992).  The team adopted the current  “Kernels” nickname before the 1993 season. On the field, the franchise won Midwest League championships in 1988, 1992, and 1994.In conjunction with Major League Baseball’s restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Kernels were organized into the High-A Central.[7] In 2022, the High-A Central became known as the Midwest League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization.[8]Ballpark[edit]The team’s first home ballpark was Belden Hill Park,[2] followed by the original Veterans Memorial Stadium,[9] which opened in 1949.  In August 2000 voters approved a referendum to build a new ballpark adjacent to the old one, which was demolished after the 2001 season.  The new Veterans Memorial Stadium was completed in time for the opening of the 2002 season, and the Kernels set a franchise attendance record of 196,066 in the new park’s inaugural year.PlayersCoaches\/OtherPitchers35 Travis Adams27 David Festa— Owen Griffith 40 Bradley Hanner17 Hunter McMahon33 Bobby Milacki20 Derek Molina11 Sean Mooney 30 Matt Mullenbach46 Jon Olsen25 Tyler Palm48 Luis Rijo16 Orlando Rodriguez37 Miguel Rodriguez41 Aaron Rozek— Zarion Sharpe 24 Ryan Shreve32 John Stankiewicz 22 Matthew SwainCatchers\u00a02 Jeferson Morales\u00a05 Pat WinkelInfieldersOutfielders\u00a09 Kyler Fedko\u00a04 Willie Joe Garry Jr.\u00a08 Alerick Soularie44 Kennie Taylor ManagerCoaches48 Mark Moriarty  (pitching)31 Jairo Rodriguez  (hitting)26 Richard Salazar  (pitching)15 Shawn Schlechter  (hitting) 7-day injured list* On Minnesota Twins 40-man roster~ Development list# Rehab assignment\u221e Reserve list\u2021 Restricted list\u00a7 Suspended list\u2020 Temporarily inactive listRoster updated August 4, 2022Transactions\u2192 More rosters: MiLB\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Midwest League\u2192 Minnesota Twins minor league playersNotable alumni[edit]Baseball Hall of Fame alumniNotable alumni  References[edit]^ “Cedar Rapids Kernels” (PDF). 2018 Media Guide.
