A Fan's Guide to the Midwest League

What's Changed at MWLguide.com?

Recent changes to A Fan's Guide to the Midwest League. Major changes are linked from this page; minor changes are usually just mentioned.

• I've made minor changes to several pages....

• It's mid-season! I've updated the 2009 page's standings, and the All-Star Game results. No, I've not abandoned the site....

• I've found and fixed a couple minor errors.

• I've been playing with the formatting of the 1974 Roster page.

• I've once again made changes to several of the roster pages, based on notes from family members of players. Thanks to all who help with this project; it's much appreciated.

• A New Page! The complete 1974 Midwest League roster. I'm playing with a new format. More changes coming....

• 1979 Season completed: I've added 1979 season information to the Wisconsin Rapids/Twins pair. Manager Rich Stelmaszek's page was already done, and is unchanged.

• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Wausau/Co-op pair, and created a New Page for manager Tom Robson.

• Jeff Yeo helped fill in one of the gaps on Dick McLaughlin's page.
• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Waterloo/Indians pair. Manager Cal Emery's page is untouched.

• Manager Updates: I've finally done some previously-promised research, and updated the pages for Dick McLaughlin and Lloyd Merritt; both still appear to be missing information (as does Jim Breazeale) but this is what I've been able to verify. (I've also edited Rich Morales' page, but in that case it's a matter of confusing him with his son. Something I've done before, unfortunately.)
• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Quad City/Cubs pair. Manager Jim Napier's page is untouched.

• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Clinton/Dodgers pair, and added a New Page for manager Dick McLaughlin.

• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Cedar Rapids/Giants pair. Manager Wayne Cato's page is unchanged.

• I've been updating a few players' roster information based on emails from the players and/or their family members. As always, the help's much appreciated.

• I've fixed a few typos.

• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information (and a surprising amount of 1980 stuff; must have been distracted) to the Burlington/Brewers pair. Manager Duane Espy already has a page, which wasn't touched.

• 1979 Season: I've added 1979 season information to the Appleton/White Sox pair, and added a New Page for manager Jim Breazeale. (Breazeale's page appears to be incomplete; I'll do what I can to fix it later this week.)

• The main 1979 pages--Summary, Highlights, and League Information--are (more or less) done. Two of those are New Pages.

• I've begun work on the 1979 season pages. The only sign, so far, is that I've built indexes mentioning the new managers on the bottom of the 1979 manager pages which already exist.

• I've finally added Parkview Field to the Fort Wayne ballparks page. Also made minor changes to the Cedar Rapids and Kane County ballparks pages.

• I've updated the Umpires Page.
• I've finally worked over the 2000s League Overview, and made related, very minor, changes to the 1990s, 1980s, and 1960s pages.
• Manager page cleanup: Phil Wellman. Last one: Done! (If I'd realized Wellman was going to be today's only update, I'd have got done yesterday.)
