The Crookston Pirates were a minor league baseball team based in Crookston, Minnesota. Crookston teams played exclusively as members of the Class D level Northern League, in two different spans, fielding league teams from 1902 to 1905 and again from 1933 to 1941. The Crookston Pirates were a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox in 1936, St. Louis Cardinals in 1937 and Boston Red Sox in 1938. Crookston teams hosted home Northern League games at Crookston Field (1902–1905) and Highland Park (1933–1941).

Today, the Crookston "Pirates" moniker is used by Crookston High School, established in 1914.

History

Crookston was a charter member of the Class D level Northern League in 1902, playing as the Crookston Crooks before disbanding after the 1905 season.[1][2] [3]

Beginning in 1933, the Crookston Pirates played in the Northern League from 1933 to 1941 and were affiliates of the Chicago White Sox in 1936, St. Louis Cardinals in 1937 and Boston Red Sox in 1938.[1][2] [4]

The Crookston teams did not win a championship in their duration of play but did qualify for the 1937 and 1938 Northern League playoffs.[2]

Crookston High School in Crookston, Minnesota was founded in 1914 and still uses the "Pirates" moniker.[5][6]

The ballparks

The Crookston Crooks teams hosted minor league home games at Crookston Field from 1902 to 1905.[7]

From 1933 to 1941, the Crookston Pirates hosted home games at Highland Park. With dimensions of 340–420–329, Highland Park had a capacity of 2,000 (1938). Today, the park is still in use a public park. The Highland Park Complex sits on 40 acres, located at North Central Avenue and Barrette Street in Crookston, Minnesota.[8][9][10][11]
