The McHenry County K-Nines are a proposed professional baseball team, expected to be based in Woodstock, Illinois, part of the greater Chicago metropolitan area. They were scheduled to begin play in 2012 as a member of the Frontier League, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball. Home games are planned to be played in an as-yet unnamed ballpark set to open up for 2012. As of late 2011, none of this has occurred. Whether due to lack of funding or local opposition, the stadium has not been built. In addition, no franchise has been awarded to McHenry County.
The team held a name-the-team contest to help determine the team's name. On July 21, the K-Nines announced their name, logo, and colors. In addition to the obvious dog imagery that comes with the name, "K-Nines" is also a portmanteau of two well-known baseball terms; "K" is used to denote a strikeout in baseball scorekeeping, and "Nines" refers to both the nine innings in a regulation baseball game and the nine players on a team's lineup.
