We took the field for the first time in Spring 2022 with the goal of playing baseball in a fun, accessible, and inclusive environment while also having a positive impact on our city.​​​​​ Since then, our group has grown from just three players to more than 100 and created three baseball teams - the Milwaukee Bangers, the Milwaukee Pandas, and the Milwaukee Fonzies.

​

Each of our teams operate independently from other local baseball leagues, and we work together as a collective to sustain our own community of ballplayers. While we may look like a traditional league from the outside because of the way that we organize events, plan our seasons, and play the game, we pride ourselves on being unique and having intentions beyond winning the game when we take the field. Just a few of the things we do to maintain a casual playing environment include not keeping team records, not having league standings, and not tracking player stats. To a lot of people, it may seem fruitless to spend time playing the game when results don’t matter and there’s so little at stake. But to us, that’s the whole point.

​

Simply put, we’re a group of people who get together and play baseball because we love the game. Our goal is to build community, create friendships, and give everyone the opportunity to experience the joys of playing baseball.

Our style of baseball isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for an ultra-competitive outlet to enjoy the game, we probably aren’t for you, and we recommend checking out one of the many fantastic men’s leagues in Southeast Wisconsin. However, if you just want to come out and have a good time, make new friends, and play baseball in a low-stress, welcoming, and casual environment, there’s no better place to be!​
