Team History

Baseball Returns to Titletown

With the approval of the lease on Joannes Stadium by the Green Bay City Council on September 19, 2006 the Northwoods League was awarded a franchise to begin play the following season. This allowed renovations to begin on Joannes Stadium on September 20, 2006. Those renovations lasted through the Spring of 2007.

2007 season

The Green Bay Bullfrogs won the 1st half of the South Division in the Northwoods League. The first expansion team in the NWL's 14 year history to do so. They faced the Eau Claire Express in the 1st round of the playoffs. The Bullfrogs had home field advantage.

After winning game 1 of the division series in Eau Claire, the Bullfrogs returned to Joannes Stadium and lost games 2 and 3 thus ending an incredible Inaugural Season in the Northwoods League. The team still finished with a league leading 43-25 overall record that included a then league record 15 game winning streak and at one time during the season the Bullfrogs were ranked as high as #2 in the Nationally acclaimed "Summer 16" which ranks the top summer collegiate teams in he country. Three Bullfrogs players earned Post Season All-Star honors: Kurt Yacko, Danny Meier and Daniel Robertson. Robertson was also awarded with NWL CO-MVP honors. Field Manager Elliott Strankman was named the NWL Manager of the Year.

Beginning in the 2008 season, WNFL (1440 AM) will become the flagship station for Green Bay Bullfrogs broadcasts with Bullfrogs announcer Matt Menzl on the play-by-play as well as 15 minute pre-game and post-game shows.
