The team, which was founded by former Rochester Red Wing GM and announcer of professional baseball's longest game Bob Drew and Linda Drew played at Breese Stevens Field and Warner Park.

The debut Muskies team had a league-best 87–52 record,[1] 6.5 games ahead of the Appleton Foxes in the North Division,[2] however, they lost the Midwest League championship to the Foxes 2 games to 1.

In 1991, they made their second and last championship appearance, this time losing to the Clinton Giants 3 games to 0.

In a driving rainstorm, with Appleton leading 5–3 in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Foxes' pitcher slipped on the mound and his manager requested that the game be called.

After a second slip, the umpire called the game, ending the Muskies' Madison tenure in anticlimactic fashion: Madison's final home game ended with one out in the bottom of the ninth, with the potential tying run coming to bat.
