The Toledo Mud Hens are the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. Professional baseball had been played off and on in Toledo since 1883, but the Mud Hens era began in 1896 with the “Swamp Angels.”
Did you know that Billy Beane, Kirby Puckett, Max Scherzer, Casey Stengel and Hack Wilson have played for the Toledo Mud Hens?
M*A*S*H character Maxwell Klinger (played by Jamie Farr) hailed from Toledo and often mentioned the Mud Hens as his favorite baseball team throughout the series. He was often seen wearing a Toledo Mud Hens jersey and cap. In fact, Klinger feels so strongly about the Mud Hens that he gets put on KP duty for a month when he hits his mortal enemy Sgt Zelmo Zale, who insulted the Mud Hens. Like Klinger, Farr was born and raised in Toledo. The Mud Hens retired jersey No. 1 in Farr’s honor.
