The Rochester Royals are a Minnesota Amateur Baseball team composed of local players. The Royals have a roster which consists of both former and current college and professional athletes. In August, the Royals participate in a sectional playoff with local teams in hope of advancing to the state tournament. The Royals have won the championship three times (1991, 2006, 2022). History
The Rochester R
oyals organization began many years ago as a minor league affiliate for the Kansas City Royals. The team has been in existence since 1924 making it Rochester’s longest standing baseball franchise. Mayo Field has hosted hundreds of Royals games over the years; the team has called it home since the field was built in the 1940’s. In the 1950’s, the Royals typically drew a crowd of 1,000 to 1,500 fans. As the years passed by and major league baseball expanded, the Kansas City Royals relocated their Rochester minor league affiliate elsewhere. However, the Royals remained in town as an amateur baseball team. Thirty-nine Royals have been named to the State All-Tournament Team since 1990. Bill Cutshall was named Tournament MVP in 1991, Joe Siple in 2006, and Matt Meyer in 2022. STATE TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES
