Iowa- A Great Sports Team And School
The Northern Iowa Panthers, based in Cedar Falls Iowa, was known to be the baseball team of the University of Northern Iowa that took part in the NCCA Division I. With the discontinuation of the baseball program by the Northern Iowa University, there is longer a baseball team.
Rick Heller held the position of Head Coach of the team nick named Panthers, for a period of ten years. They had a home stadium which was capable of taking in 4277 fans and spectators and was called the Waterloo Riverfront Stadium. With their being no more baseball at university level, the focus now shifts to the minor league teams.
Even if they are not as famous as other teams, the four Class A teams in the Midwest League known as Burlington Bees, Quad Cities River Bandits, Clinton Lumber Kings and Cedar Rapid Kernels, they too have produced some quality players who have reached a professional level. It is worthwhile taking a look at some of them who did make it to the major league.
Born in Texas on 23rd September 1985, Kenn Anthony Kasperk was invited to join the Chicago Cubs in 2004 when he was quite young, which was turned down by him. Neither did he accept a draft contract from the Washington Nationals in 2007.
However, he decided to take up the offer from Seattle Mariners in 2008 and was drafted during the Major League Baseball draft in the 12th round. Kenn has made quite an impression early in his career with the Seattle Mariners.
Many are of the view that Kenn, being young and with many years of playing lying ahead of him, with his prowess in right handed batting and bowling will be a force to reckon with in the future.
Someone of the same caliber is Denny Almonte who was born in Miami Florida on 24th Sept. 1988 and even though he was younger than Kenn, Seattle Mariners drafted him into Major Baseball League in 2007. While being still at school, Denny found time to get some practice in the game at the same time he played little league.
Before long Denny got noticed when he tried to play a more challenging game at national level while his right handed throw and batting switcher had him ear marked by most other teams as well. If he continues to progress well, there is a very good chance that many other teams will try to draft him.
Jerry Nyman who initially played for Chicago White Sox was later signed on as the now famous coach of the Midwest League who trained the players for many years.
