The Kalamazoo Kings are a minor league baseball team based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The team is a member of the independent Frontier League, and is not associated with any Major League Baseball team. Players are able to sign with Major League Baseball organizations throughout the Frontier League season.
The team plays at Homer Stryker Field, and their games are broadcast on Kalamazoo radio station ESPN 1660 WQLR, with veteran play-by-play announcer John R. Leahy on commentary. In 2005, the Kings won their first Frontier League Championship.
