Wisconsin Timber RattlersThe Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are a Class A minor league baseball team, affiliated with the Seattle Mariners, that plays in the Midwest League. Their home games are played in Grand Chute, Wisconsin. The team began playing in 1962 as the Appleton Foxes. That name stayed until 1994, with the exception of a few years (1963-66) when they were known as the Fox Cities Foxes. The team was renamed the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers for the 1995 season after moving from its original home, Goodland Field in Appleton (built in 1940), to the new Fox Cities Stadium in nearby Grand Chute. The team has been affiliated with the Mariners since 1993. Previous affiliations have been with the Orioles (1962-65), the White Sox (1966-86), and the Royals (1987-92). The franchise's attendance record of 233,797 was set in 1996. Reference - Dinda, J. (2003), "Appleton, Wisconsin in the Midwest League," http://www.mwlguide.com/cities/appleton/index.html
