The Green Bay Blue Ribbons are a semi-pro baseball team participating in both the Wisconsin State League and the Northeastern Wisconsin Baseball League. Made up predominately of college-age players, the Blue Ribbons play their home games at historic Joannes Stadium on Green Bay’s east side.
Baseball at Joannes Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin is a tradition dating back more than 90 years. The Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers maintained a minor league baseball team in Green Bay for much of the 1940’s and 50’s, and the Green Bay Blue Ribbons called Joannes home from 1970-1995. With the success of the Blue Ribbons, Green Bay tried their hand at pro ball in 1996 with the Green Bay Sultans, but after just two seasons, the Sultans were replaced by the Green Bay Billy’s. The Billy’s played for nine season, and then the Northwoods League came to town, with the Green Bay Bullfrogs playing their home games at Joannes Stadium from 2007-2018.
The De Pere Dodgers joined the Wisconsin State League in 2016, and after playing their first three seasons in De Pere, they moved to Joannes in 2019. With the rich history associated with their new home field, the decision was made to re-brand for the 2020 season, and the Dodgers once again became the Blue Ribbons.
