This is the first Midwest League title for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. The franchise, however, won eight titles as the Appleton Foxes, in 1964, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1978, 1982, 1983 and 1984. The Foxes were rebranded as the Timber Rattlers in 1995, coinciding with the opening of Fox Cities Stadium. The Appleton ballpark will be renovated during the offseason.
