[edit] Team Bio
Founded in 2001, the Madison Mallards are one of the teams in the Northwoods League of Summer Collegiate Baseball. Like other Summer Collegiate Baseball teams, the Mallards are dedicated and designed to providing minor league level competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Mallards play their home games at Warner Park which previously was a home to the Madison Muskies and the Madison Hatters of the Single A Midwest League. Since their inception, the Mallards have quickly filled the gap left by the departure of affiliated baseball from the city. In 2005, the Madison Mallards broke the 200,000 fans mark and frequently host pre-game tailgate parties for fans. The popularity of the team continues to grow and more and more fans visit and return to "The Duck Pond" every year.
- Games are broadcast on WTLX 100.5 FM Fox Sports Radio
