"Some of our fans don't really realize is a lot of these guys currently with the Brewers or on our team as recent as 2024," said Michelle Hofacker, the team's social media creator.
Players such as Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, Jacob Misiorowski, and Brice Turang have made stops in their baseball careers at Fox Cities Stadium.
"Guys continue to crush it post-season; obviously, everything we post and all of like, the silly, goofy pictures, videos, all the fun stuff we got of them when they were here posting that has gone insanely viral," said Hofacker.
As the Timber Rattlers season ended earlier than hoped, it brought more attention to the team and focused on supporting the Brewers as they aim to bring a trophy home to Wisconsin.
"It's awesome because, yeah, they start here in Appleton. And then only a couple of short years, they could be with the Milwaukee Brewers. So our fans get to know them, you know, while they're young, rising stars here. And then only in a couple of years, they'll see them as Milwaukee Brewers," said Zach Schneider, the team's merchandise and sales manager.
As fans have watched top prospects go from the 920 to the 414.
"Say that, hey, 4 or 5 years ago these guys were playing in Appleton, another in Milwaukee. You know, these guys are going a year or two after they're here. They're jumping up to the big leagues. So, it's really cool for us to, for our fans even to say, like, I might watch this guy tonight and two years from now he's in a playoff game for the Brewers. So that whole essence, exactly what baseball is about," said the team's newly announced general manager Ryan Moede.
