[3][1] The Milwaukee Milkmen were announced in February 2018, as an expansion team in the American Association of professional baseball, scheduled to begin play for the 2019 season.

The team was originally announced as the thirteenth team in the league,[2] but upon the conclusion of the 2018 season the Wichita Wingnuts suspended operations after they lost their stadium to make way for a new stadium for the MiLB AA Witchita Wind Surge.

"[5] Milkmen was among ten finalists in a "Name the Team" contest which also included: Barn Owls, Bovines, Broilers, Cheesers, Cow Tippers, Crop Dusters, Farmhands, Haymakers, and War Pigs.

The Milkmen began their second year with new manager Anthony Barone at the helm,[12] and the 2020 season in question due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to this the Milkmen were able to play in front of limited capacity crowds[15] throughout the regular season and championship.

[16] The season got off to a rocky start with the third game of the opening series with the Chicago Dogs getting canceled due to a positive COVID-19 test.

[17] The Milkmen finished the season with a record of 34-26, and won their first championship over Sioux Falls in five games.
