History

1891 & 1892 Wisconsin State League

In 1891, Green Bay began minor league play when the Green Bay "Dock Wallopers" were charter members of the independent Wisconsin State League. [1] [2] The Appleton Papermakers, Fond du Lac Mudhens, Marinette Lumber Shovers, Oconto Log Drivers and Oshkosh Indians teams joined with Green Bay in the six–team Wisconsin State League. [3] [4]

Green Bay played their first minor league game on May 23, 1891, at their home ballpark. Appleton defeated Green Bay 4–0 in the home opener at Green Bay, with 400 to 500 fans in attendance. [5]

Green Bay finished in fourth place in the 1891 Wisconsin State League standings. [2] Playing under managers Thomas Murray and George Brackett, the Dock Wallopers ended the season with a record of 48–42. Marinette won the championship and finished 2.5 games ahead of the second place Appleton Papermakers and 3.0 games ahead of fourth place Green Bay in the final standings. [6] [4]

In 1892, the Green Bay "Bays" nickname first appeared as the team continued play, becoming charter members of the six-team Michigan-Wisconsin League. [7] The league formed for the 1892 season as a non–signatory, Independent level league. The Ishpeming-Negaunee Unions, Marinette Badgers, Marquette Undertakers, Menominee Wolverines and Oshkosh Indians teams joined Green Bay as charter members. [8] [9]

The 1892 Green Bay Bays won the Michigan-Wisconsin League championship after the league lost two teams during the season. The Bays were led to the championship by manager Sam LaRocque.
