Madison Hatters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Madison Hatters were a minor-league baseball team based in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1994. A Class A minor league baseball affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, they were a member of the Midwest League. The team played its home games at Warner Park.

Following the departure of long-time Madison club Madison Muskies, the team moved from Springfield, Illinois, where they were known as the Springfield Cardinals. They never intended to stay in Madison for more than one season, and at the end of the 1994 campaign the team moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, to become the Michigan Battle Cats. They again relocated for the 2007 season to Midland, Michigan, and are now known as the Great Lakes Loons.
