The Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame and the Northwoods League’s Battle Creek Battle Jacks have formalized a partnership naming MCCU Field at C. O. Brown Stadium as an approved affiliate for heritage and exhibition initiatives. The collaboration will highlight Battle Creek’s baseball legacy — including landmark moments such as Jackie Robinson’s 1950 visit and Derek Jeter signing his first Yankees contract — through in-stadium storytelling, heritage nights, and historical exhibits during the 2026 season and beyond. The agreement underscores MCCU Field’s role as a community landmark and the club’s stewardship of local baseball history.
