Appleton Papermakers - Wisconsin - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Women's T-Shirt kirksville and holding maracas is surroundedAppleton's Papermakers took the field in 1909 as part of the Wisconsin Illinois League, a Class D club born in a mill town where paper was king. Baseball gave Appleton something beyond industry, a shared identity on summer evenings. Small town minor league clubs like this one were the soul of their communities. Part of our Defunct Baseball collection, inspired by the vintage Minor League teams of yesteryear. The Details: Distressed blue cursive text
