As a result, Fox Cities joined the Class D Midwest League (MWL) for 1962. The MWL was reclassified as a Class A league in 1963. The Foxes won the game, giving them their first Midwest League championship. In 1967, then known as the Appleton Foxes, Two years later, Tom Saffell's Foxes won both halves of the 1969 season and were named league champions without any playoffs being held. Saffell was selected for the league's Manager of the Year Award. Fellow Hall of Famer Harold Baines began his career with the Foxes in 1977. The 1978 team, under the management of Gordon Lund, set a franchise record with their 97–40 season. Lund won the season's Manager of the Year Award,
From 1982 to 1984, the Foxes won three consecutive Midwest League championships. Clinching a wild card berth in 1982, Appleton won the semifinals against the Springfield Cardinals, 2–0, then claimed the league title over the Madison Muskies, 2–1, under manager Adrian Garrett. The 1983 Northern Division champions, then led by John Boles, won the semifinals versus Waterloo, 2–1, then won a second consecutive championship against Springfield, 3–1. Sal Rende's 1984 Foxes completed the back to back to back feat by winning the division, defeating Madison, 2–1, in the semifinals, and again taking the championship from Springfield in a full five game series. The 1986 Foxes won another division title, but were kept from winning a fourth consecutive championship with elimination in the semifinals. The White Sox affiliation ended after the 1986 season. Spanning 21 years, this was the longest affiliation in the minor league team's history. Tom Poquette, manager of the 1992 team, won the Manager of the Year Award. The 8–1 loss to the South Bend Silver Hawks was attended by a season high 3,492 people. Also in 1995, after 37 seasons as the Foxes, the team rebranded as the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. This change was made to increase their regional appeal outside the Fox Cities and to boost merchandise sales. "Timber Rattlers" was chosen by area school children who selected it from among three possible monikers along with several logos for each. The team's scheduled April 5, 1995, home opener at their new facility was postponed due to snow and rescheduled for the next afternoon as a doubleheader. The Timber Rattlers won both games, defeating the West Michigan Whitecaps, 3–1 and 8–6, before an audience of 1,937 people. In 1994, shortstop Alex Rodriguez was selected as the league's Prospect of the Year after hitting for a .319 batting average with 14 home runs and 55 RBI in just 65 games. Wisconsin failed to reach the postseason in their first three seasons with Seattle. As first half winners in 1996, they won the Central Division title versus the Peoria Chiefs, 2–1, and then beat the Quad Cities River Bandits, 2–1, to advance to the championship round, but they were defeated by West Michigan, 3–1. The 1997 and 1998 teams repeated as first half champions, but were each eliminated in the divisional rounds. In 1999, the Timber Rattlers qualified for the postseason with a second half title, won the Central Division over the Rockford Reds, 2–0, advanced through the semifinals over the Lansing Lugnuts, 2–0, but again lost the championship to Burlington, 3–2. The team won second half titles and the quarterfinals in the next two seasons but were unable to win in the divisional rounds, and the 2003 first half winners did not make it past the quarterfinals. In 2005, Wisconsin won both halves, the quarterfinals over the Beloit Snappers, 2–1, and the Western Division title against the Clinton LumberKings, 2–0, but failed to win the league championship as they were defeated by South Bend, 3–2. The Mariners affiliation ended after the 2008 season without any further postseason appearances. Over the 16 year relationship, Wisconsin had a 1,077–1,124 record. Wisconsin qualified for the postseason in 2012 after a six year absence from the playoffs. Having won the first half, they won the quarterfinals over Burlington, 2–1, and the Western Division title versus Clinton, 2–0. They ended the postseason by winning their ninth Midwest League championship over Fort Wayne, 3–1. Their most recent postseason appearances came in 2014 and 2016 via second half titles, but the Timber Rattlers were eliminated in each quarterfinal round. Following the 2020 season, Appleton Baseball Club, Inc, sold the team to Third Base Ventures, LLC, a group consisting of principal owner Craig Dickman and minority owners team president Rob Zerjav and Brad Raaths. Major League Baseball assumed control of Minor League Baseball before the 2021 season in a move to increase player salaries, modernize facility standards, and reduce travel. As a result, the Midwest League disbanded and the Timber Rattlers were elevated to the High A classification and placed in the High A Central, where they continued their affiliation with Milwaukee. Wisconsin began competition in the new league on May 4 with a 2–1 victory over the Beloit Snappers at Fox Cities Stadium. They ended the season in third place in the West Division with a 59–60 record. In 2022, the High A Central became known as the Midwest League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization. Wisconsin placed second in both halves of the split season, missing out on qualifying for the postseason. Their season record was 69–60. Over 14 complete seasons of competition as a Brewers farm club, the Timber Rattlers hold a regular season win–loss record of 899–1,003. |

Нәтижесінде, Фокс-Ситис 1962 жылы D класты Мидвест лигасына (MWL) қосылды. 1963 жылы MWL А класты лига болып қайта жіктелді. «Лисы» ойынды жеңіп, алғашқы Мидвест лигасының чемпионы атанды. 1967 жылы, сол кезде Апплтон Фокс деп аталған, екі жылдан кейін Том Саффеллдің «Лисы» 1969 жылғы маусымның екі жартысын жеңіп, плей-офф өткізілмей-ақ лига чемпионы атанды. Саффелл лиганың «Жылдың жаттықтырушысы» сыйлығына ие болды. «Даңқ залының» мүшесі Гарольд Бэйнс өзінің мансабын 1977 жылы «Лисы» командасымен бастады. 1978 жылғы команда Гордон Лундтың басшылығымен 97–40 есебімен клубтың рекордын жаңартты. Лунд «Жылдың жаттықтырушысы» сыйлығын жеңіп алды. 1982–1984 жылдары «Лисы» үш рет қатарынан Мидвест лигасының чемпионы атанды. 1982 жылы жол сікілгісін жеңіп алған Апплтон жартылай финалда Спрингфилд Кардиналдарына қарсы 2:0 есебімен жеңіске жетті, содан кейін Адриан Гарретттің басшылығымен Мэдисон Мускиге қарсы 2:1 есебімен лига титулын жеңіп алды. 1983 жылы солтүстік дивизионның чемпионы, содан кейін Джон Боулз басқарған команда жартылай финалда Уотерлооға қарсы 2:1 есебімен жеңіске жетті, содан кейін Спрингфилдке қарсы 3:1 есебімен екінші рет чемпион атанды. Саль Ренденің 1984 жылғы «Лисы» командасы дивизионды жеңіп, жартылай финалда Мэдисонды 2:1 есебімен жеңіп, Спрингфилдтен толық бес ойындық серияда чемпиондықты қайта жеңіп алып, үш рет қатарынан жеңіске жетті. 1986 жылғы «Лисы» тағы бір дивизиондық титулды жеңіп алды, бірақ жартылай финалда жеңіліске ұшырағаннан кейін төртінші рет қатарынан чемпион атағын жеңе алмады. «Ақ соққылармен» (White Sox) серіктестік 1986 жылғы маусымнан кейін аяқталды. 21 жылға созылған бұл кіші лига командасының тарихындағы ең ұзақ серіктестік болды. 1992 жылғы команданың жаттықтырушысы Том Покет «Жылдың жаттықтырушысы» атағын жеңіп алды. Саут-Бенд Сильвер Хоуксқа 8:1 есебімен ұтылған ойынды 3492 адам тамашалады. Сондай-ақ 1995 жылы, 37 маусымнан кейін «Лисы» ретінде команда Висконсин Тимбер Раттлерс болып қайта аталды. Бұл өзгеріс олардың Фокс-Ситистен тыс аймақтық тартымдылығын арттыру және тауар сатуды көбейту үшін жасалды. «Тимбер Раттлерс» атауын аймақтағы мектеп оқушылары үш мүмкін атаудың және әрқайсысының бірнеше логотипінің арасынан таңдады. Команданың 5 сәуірдегі жаңа стадиондағы үй ойыны қарға байланысты кейінге қалдырылып, келесі күні екі ойыннан тұратын матчқа ауыстырылды. «Тимбер Раттлерс» екі ойынды да жеңіп, Уэст Мичиган Уайткапсты 3:1 және 8:6 есебімен 1937 көрерменнің алдында жеңді. 1994 жылы шортстоп Алекс Родригес 65 ойында .319 ұпай жинап, 14 хоум-ран соғып, 55 RBI көрсеткені үшін лиганың «Жылдың жас үміткері» атанды. Висконсин Сиэтлмен алғашқы үш маусымда плей-оффқа қатыса алмады. 1996 жылы бірінші жартыда жеңіске жеткен команда Орталық дивизионда Пеория Чифс командасын 2:1 есебімен жеңіп, Куад-Ситис Ривер Бэндитс командасын 2:1 есебімен жеңіп, чемпионат кезеңіне өтті, бірақ Батыс Мичиган командасы оларды 3:1 есебімен жеңді. 1997 және 1998 жылғы командалар бірінші жартыдағы чемпиондықты қайталады, бірақ әрқайсысы дивизиондық кезеңде жеңіліске ұшырады. 1999 жылы «Тимбер Раттлерс» екінші жартыдағы титулмен постсезонға қатысуға мүмкіндік алды, Орталық дивизионда Рокфорд Редс командасын 2:0 есебімен жеңіп, жартылай финалда Лансинг Луннацс командасын 2:0 есебімен жеңіп, бірақ тағы да чемпиондықты Берлингтоннан 3:2 есебімен жоғалтты. Команда келесі екі маусымда екінші жартыдағы титулдарды және ширек финалға өтті, бірақ дивизиондық кезеңдерде жеңіске жете алмады, ал 2003 жылғы бірінші жартыдағы жеңімпаз ширек финалдан өте алмады. 2005 жылы Висконсин екі жартысын жеңіп, ширек финалда Белоит Снэпперс командасын 2:1 есебімен жеңіп, Батыс дивизионының титулын Клинтон Ламберкингс командасынан 2:0 есебімен жеңіп алды, бірақ Оңтүстік Бенд командасынан 3:2 есебімен жеңілгендіктен лига чемпионы атан алмады. Маринерлермен (Mariners) серіктестік 2008 жылғы маусымнан кейін аяқталды, постсезондық кездесулер болған жоқ. 16 жылдық қарым-қатынас кезінде Висконсиннің көрсеткіші 1077–1124 болды. Висконсин 2012 жылы плей-оффқа алты жылдық үзілістен кейін қайта қатысты. Бірінші жартыда жеңіске жеткен команда ширек финалда Берлингтонды 2:1 есебімен жеңіп, Клинтонға қарсы Батыс дивизионының титулын 2:0 есебімен жеңіп алды. Олар Форт-Уэйнге қарсы Мидвест лигасының тоғызыншы чемпиондығын 3:1 есебімен жеңіп, постсезонды аяқтады. Олардың соңғы постсезондық кездесулері 2014 және 2016 жылдары екінші жартыдағы титулдар арқылы болды, бірақ «Тимбер Раттлерс» әр ширек финалдық турда жеңіліске ұшырады. 2020 жылғы маусымнан кейін Эпплтон Бейсбол Клубы, Inc команданы негізгі иесі Крейг Дикман және азшылық иелері команда президенті Роб Зержав пен Брэд Раатстан тұратын Үшінші базалық венчурларға, LLC-ге сатты. 2021 жылғы маусым алдында Бас лига бейсбол кіші лига бейсболын бақылауға алды, бұл ойыншылардың жалақысын арттыру, нысандардың стандарттарын жаңарту және саяхатты қысқарту мақсатында жасалды. Нәтижесінде, Мидвест лигасы таратылды және «Тимбер Раттлерс» Жоғары А класына көтеріліп, Жоғары А Орталық дивизионына қосылды, онда олар Милуокимен серіктестіктерін жалғастырды. Висконсин 4 мамырда Фокс-Ситис стадионында Белоит Снэпперс командасына қарсы 2:1 есебімен жеңіске жетіп, жаңа лигадағы жарысын бастады. Олар 59–60 есебімен Батыс дивизионында үшінші орында аяқтады. 2022 жылы Жоғары А Орталық дивизионы тарихи түрде 2021 жылғы қайта ұйымдастыруға дейін аймақтық турнирде қолданылған Мидвест лигасы деп аталды. Висконсин бөлінген маусымның екі жартысында екінші орынды алды, постсезонға қатысуға мүмкіндік алмады. Олардың маусымдық көрсеткіші 69–60 болды. «Брюэрс» клубының шаруашылық клубы ретінде 14 толық маусымдық жарыс кезінде «Тимбер Раттлерс» 899–1003 есебімен жеңіске жетті.
As a result, Fox Cities joined the Class D Midwest League (MWL) for 1962. The MWL was reclassified as a Class A league in 1963. The Foxes won the game, giving them their first Midwest League championship. In 1967, then known as the Appleton Foxes, Two years later, Tom Saffell's Foxes won both halves of the 1969 season and were named league champions without any playoffs being held. Saffell was selected for the league's Manager of the Year Award. Fellow Hall of Famer Harold Baines began his career with the Foxes in 1977. The 1978 team, under the management of Gordon Lund, set a franchise record with their 97–40 season. Lund won the season's Manager of the Year Award,
From 1982 to 1984, the Foxes won three consecutive Midwest League championships. Clinching a wild card berth in 1982, Appleton won the semifinals against the Springfield Cardinals, 2–0, then claimed the league title over the Madison Muskies, 2–1, under manager Adrian Garrett. The 1983 Northern Division champions, then led by John Boles, won the semifinals versus Waterloo, 2–1, then won a second consecutive championship against Springfield, 3–1. Sal Rende's 1984 Foxes completed the back to back to back feat by winning the division, defeating Madison, 2–1, in the semifinals, and again taking the championship from Springfield in a full five game series. The 1986 Foxes won another division title, but were kept from winning a fourth consecutive championship with elimination in the semifinals. The White Sox affiliation ended after the 1986 season. Spanning 21 years, this was the longest affiliation in the minor league team's history. Tom Poquette, manager of the 1992 team, won the Manager of the Year Award. The 8–1 loss to the South Bend Silver Hawks was attended by a season high 3,492 people. Also in 1995, after 37 seasons as the Foxes, the team rebranded as the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. This change was made to increase their regional appeal outside the Fox Cities and to boost merchandise sales. "Timber Rattlers" was chosen by area school children who selected it from among three possible monikers along with several logos for each. The team's scheduled April 5, 1995, home opener at their new facility was postponed due to snow and rescheduled for the next afternoon as a doubleheader. The Timber Rattlers won both games, defeating the West Michigan Whitecaps, 3–1 and 8–6, before an audience of 1,937 people. In 1994, shortstop Alex Rodriguez was selected as the league's Prospect of the Year after hitting for a .319 batting average with 14 home runs and 55 RBI in just 65 games. Wisconsin failed to reach the postseason in their first three seasons with Seattle. As first half winners in 1996, they won the Central Division title versus the Peoria Chiefs, 2–1, and then beat the Quad Cities River Bandits, 2–1, to advance to the championship round, but they were defeated by West Michigan, 3–1. The 1997 and 1998 teams repeated as first half champions, but were each eliminated in the divisional rounds. In 1999, the Timber Rattlers qualified for the postseason with a second half title, won the Central Division over the Rockford Reds, 2–0, advanced through the semifinals over the Lansing Lugnuts, 2–0, but again lost the championship to Burlington, 3–2. The team won second half titles and the quarterfinals in the next two seasons but were unable to win in the divisional rounds, and the 2003 first half winners did not make it past the quarterfinals. In 2005, Wisconsin won both halves, the quarterfinals over the Beloit Snappers, 2–1, and the Western Division title against the Clinton LumberKings, 2–0, but failed to win the league championship as they were defeated by South Bend, 3–2. The Mariners affiliation ended after the 2008 season without any further postseason appearances. Over the 16 year relationship, Wisconsin had a 1,077–1,124 record. Wisconsin qualified for the postseason in 2012 after a six year absence from the playoffs. Having won the first half, they won the quarterfinals over Burlington, 2–1, and the Western Division title versus Clinton, 2–0. They ended the postseason by winning their ninth Midwest League championship over Fort Wayne, 3–1. Their most recent postseason appearances came in 2014 and 2016 via second half titles, but the Timber Rattlers were eliminated in each quarterfinal round. Following the 2020 season, Appleton Baseball Club, Inc, sold the team to Third Base Ventures, LLC, a group consisting of principal owner Craig Dickman and minority owners team president Rob Zerjav and Brad Raaths. Major League Baseball assumed control of Minor League Baseball before the 2021 season in a move to increase player salaries, modernize facility standards, and reduce travel. As a result, the Midwest League disbanded and the Timber Rattlers were elevated to the High A classification and placed in the High A Central, where they continued their affiliation with Milwaukee. Wisconsin began competition in the new league on May 4 with a 2–1 victory over the Beloit Snappers at Fox Cities Stadium. They ended the season in third place in the West Division with a 59–60 record. In 2022, the High A Central became known as the Midwest League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization. Wisconsin placed second in both halves of the split season, missing out on qualifying for the postseason. Their season record was 69–60. Over 14 complete seasons of competition as a Brewers farm club, the Timber Rattlers hold a regular season win–loss record of 899–1,003. |

Радио және теледидар
Барлық үй және жол ойындары WNAM 1280 AM радиосында тікелей эфирде беріледі. Тікелей аудио хабарламалар команданың веб-сайты мен MiLB First Pitch қосымшасы арқылы онлайн режимінде қолжетімді. Үйдегі таңдалған ойындар Грин-Бэй/Апплтон қалаларында WCWF CW 14 телеарнасында, ал Милуокиде WVTV DT2 My 24 телеарнасында көрсетіледі. Фангқа Уиффер қосылады – екінші талисман, оның сыртқы түрі көк түсті жүнімен, жасыл беті мен қолымен Филли Фанатикке ұқсайды. Фанг пен 1995 жылғы жаңа брендтен бұрын Апплтонның талисманы Фредди Фокс болған, ол команданың жейдесі мен бас киімін киген антропоморфты түлкі. 1980 жылдар шамасында талисман Гомер Рун болды, ол адам кейпінде болған және Түлкілердің киім үлгісімен киінген.
