The Frontier League and Can-Am League merged this past fall to form the largest independent league in the country. There are teams from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Ontario and Quebec.

“We are honored to be selected for the first-ever All-Star Game of the newly expanded league,” team owner Francine Williams said in a statement. “For years, the Wild Things have been the team furthest East in the Frontier League, but with the expansion, we have become the geographic center of the league.”

Since their inception in 2002, the Wild Things have won six division titles. They finished 37-59 and in last place in the East Division last season.
