Toledo Mud Hens

The Toledo Mud Hens are a Minor League Baseball team from Toledo, Ohio. They play baseball at the Triple-A (AAA) level, the most difficult level before Major League Baseball, against other baseball teams in the International League (a group of 20 baseball teams at the same level). The Mud Hens are partnered with the Detroit Tigers, a Major League Baseball team. When a player shows that he plays well at this level, he may be moved up to play for the Tigers.

The team is called the "Mud Hens" because a former baseball team from Toledo played near a marsh where American coots, also known as "mud hens," lived. 

The Mud Hens played at a stadium called Ned Skeldon Stadium from 1965 to 2001. In 2002, the team began to play at a new stadium called Fifth Third Field.
