Kenosha Twins

The Kenosha Twins were a Minor League Baseball team that played in Kenosha, Wisconsin, from 1984 to 1992. They began play in the Midwest League in 1984 when the Wisconsin Rapids Twins relocated. The team played their home games at Simmons Field in Kenosha. The Twins won two Midwest League championships, in 1985 and 1987, and were Northern Division champions for the first half of the 1988 season. The team was sold in 1992 and relocated to Fort Wayne, Indiana, as the Fort Wayne Wizards after the season.

The ballpark
The Kenosia minor league baseball teams hosted their home games at Simmons Field. In the era, Simmons Field was located on Sheridan Road near the shore of Lake Michigan in Kenosha. The ballpark opened in 1920, when the local Simmons Bedding Company’s baseball team needed a ballpark to host their team. Still in use today, Simmons Field is located at 7817 Sheridan Road in Kenosia, Wisconsin.
