Outlaw Baseball Team a Nod to the Raucous Early Days of Joplin
The Joplin Outlaws baseball team draws its name from the city's notorious past with gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde, while providing summer baseball opportunities for college players at Joe Becker Stadium. The team relies heavily on sponsor families like the Morgans who host out-of-town players and features special theme nights including fundraisers for breast cancer awareness, veterans affairs, and honoring fallen police officers.
