Holland Wooden Shoes

Holland joined the Cadillac Chiefs, Muskegon Speed Boys and Traverse City Resorters teams in beginning league play on May 28, 1910.

In the country of the Netherlands (often incorrectly referred to as Holland), wooden shoes or clogs are prevalent in history and culture.

[3][4] In their first season of play, the 1910 Holland Wooden Shoes finished last in the Western Michigan League final standings.

Managed by Clyde McNutt, Ted Penfold, Ed McDonough and W. Schaefer, the Chiefs finished 26.0 games behind the first place Manistee Colts.

"[12] The Holland Wooden Shoes teams hosted minor league home games at 19th Street Grounds.
