Wausau Mets
March 24, 2020
Pro baseball returned to Wausau, Wisconsin when the Midwest League chose the city of 32,000 over Lafayette, Indiana for an expansion club at the 1974 Baseball Winter Meetings. Wausau became the northernmost stop in the Class A circuit during the 1970’s, playing against intra-state rivals from Appleton and Wisconsin Rapids as well as clubs from Iowa and Illinois. From 1975 to 1978, Wausau served as a farm club for the National League’s New York Mets.
