Gothamite Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 25 or 50 years is worth celebrating. Especially when the affiliation is a local one, as with the Brewers/Timber Rattlers or the Red Sox/PawSox (shame about that one, though). Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Which in their case happens to be the same thing, but they’re not specifically referencing the affiliation. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

MilSox Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Have the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers really been a thing for a quarter century already? They were still the Appleton Foxes when my family moved to the area and I always thought that was a superior name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still the Appleton Foxes when my family moved to the area and I always thought that was a superior name. So somewhat of a related, funny story that happened two summers ago. My family has tickets to the local summer collegiate team (I really should post the logos from that league in this thread, there's a lot of stinkers) with those seats being in the second row next to the visitors dugout, so the on-deck batter is right in front of us. I have a Timber Rattlers hat and I was wearing it at one of the games. The on-deck batter turns to us and starts asking me about my hat and why I had it. Turns out, he's from Appleton. He gets stranded on base and someone brings out his glove and hat so he stays out in the field but once that half of the inning is done, he comes back and starts talking to me about my hat and the Rattlers again. So this American guy is playing a baseball game in a Western Canadian summer collegiate league and happens to run into someone wearing his local single-A minor league team. I like to think I blew his mind and he told this story to everyone from back home. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I consider myself much more from Milwaukee, I think I would be more excited to see Timber Rattlers paraphernalia than Brewers in my travels simply because the odds are so much more rare. And they're still more than likely Brewers fans who I can talk baseball to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
