ABOUT BANGERS BASEBALL
“MILWAUKEE'S NEIGHBORHOOD BASEBALL TEAM”
PLAYING FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME AND OUR COMMUNITY
The Milwaukee Bangers were established in 2021 with a vision of creating an accessible, inclusive baseball environment for adults of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we’re here to play friendly, carefree baseball in a high-quality, organized environment while also making a positive impact in our community.
​
Over the years, our team has grown from just three players to more than twenty and brought the good vibes all around the United States – from the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa to Nashville, Tulsa, Minnesota, San Diego, and right back here to Wisconsin – all while staying true to our sandlot roots and “Doing Good Through Baseball” along the way. A few of the organizations we’ve helped support throughout the years, simply by playing a game we love, include The Miracle League of Music City, Field of BIG Dreams, San Diego LGBT Community Center, H.O.O.A.H. WI, and the Jackson Sparks Foundation.
​
We hope you’ll consider joining our team! There is no specific baseball background or experience required to play. All we’re looking for are good people who consistently show up to our games and demonstrate a strong desire to improve our club. If you’re interested in playing with us, please fill out a Player Interest Form.​​​
"The focus was having fun. Everybody gets their chance to play. We need everybody. No one's greater than anyone else. Let's go out and play the game of baseball."
