The Wausau Woodchucks are an American baseball team that plays in the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league. They play their home games at Athletic Park in Wausau, Wisconsin.
History
The team was known as the Wausau Woodchucks from 1994 to 1998, but the team name was changed to Wisconsin Woodchucks for the 1999 season, as they were the only remaining team in Wisconsin in the league at that time.
The team filled the void left by the Wausau Timbers of the Class A Midwest League, who relocated after the 1990 season to Geneva, Illinois, to become the Kane County Cougars.
In 1998 Clark Eckhoff purchased The Wisconsin Woodchucks, and Eckhoff truly made an impact on the team as well as the community as a whole. Not only did attendance dramatically increase with Eckhoff as owner, but the Woodchucks would go on to win two league championships in 2001 and 2003.
The 'Chucks gained some star power for the 2007 season, as former Milwaukee Brewer and University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh product Jim Gantner managed the team. Gantner has been involved with the Brewers in various capacities since his retirement in 1992, including some coaching, but the Woodchucks job is his first managerial experience. Gantner, a native Wisconsinite who owns a second home in Boulder Junction, is familiar with the Wausau area and had expressed interest] in coaching college-age players.
On February 2, 2022, the Woodchucks announced their return as the Wausau Woodchucks, with a new logo and color scheme.
The team is named after the woodchuck, a common animal in Wisconsin known for its burrowing abilities. The Woodchucks have a strong following in the Wausau area and are known for their exciting brand of baseball. The team has had many successful seasons, including winning the Northwoods League championship in 2012.
The Woodchucks roster is made up of top college baseball players from around the country. Many players go on to play professionally after their time with the Woodchucks. The team is known for its strong pitching and defense, as well as its ability to manufacture runs on offense.
The Wisconsin Woodchucks are a beloved part of the Wausau community and a must-see for any baseball fan visiting the area. With a rich history and a bright future, the Woodchucks are sure to continue entertaining fans for years to come.
