Madison Blues Hoodie - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - WisconsinThe Madison Blues, based in Madison, Wisconsin, were founded in 1923 by the Madison Athletic Association and spent nearly two decades working their way up through Wisconsin's minor league ladder. They started as an independent club, joined the Wisconsin Illinois League in 1926, moved to the Wisconsin State League (1928 31 and 1934 37), and won the Tri State League championship in 1938 over the Sheboygan Chairmakers.

The Madison Blues, based in Madison, Wisconsin, were founded in 1923 by the Madison Athletic Association and spent nearly two decades working their way up through Wisconsin's minor league ladder. They started as an independent club, joined the Wisconsin-Illinois League in 1926, moved to the Wisconsin State League (1928-31 and 1934-37), and won the Tri-State League championship in 1938 over the Sheboygan Chairmakers. In 1940 they stepped up to the Class B Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League, the highest level the franchise ever reached.

Their Three-I seasons were played out against the backdrop of wartime. The Blues went 61-62 in 1940 (sixth place), 52-71 in 1941 (seventh place), and 55-62 in 1942 as a Chicago Cubs affiliate, that final season making the playoffs before losing to the Cedar Rapids Cubs 3-0 in the finals. All three seasons were played at Breese Stevens Field, a brick grandstand on Madison's east side that had become the first sports facility in Wisconsin with electric lights when floodlights were installed in 1931. Warren Spahn, later the Hall of Fame left-hander and winner of 363 major league games, pitched against the Blues in 1941 as a member of the visiting Evansville Bees. Jesse Owens, the four-time gold medalist from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, ran exhibition races at the field in 1938 during a Blues home game.

The 1942 season was the Blues' last. Wartime demands on players and resources depleted the league's rosters, and Madison did not return. When the Three-I reorganized for 1946, the Davenport Cubs took the slot Madison had vacated, and the Blues identity never came back.

The Three-I League (also known as the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League) was a Class B circuit that ran from 1901 through 1961, with pauses for World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Though rooted primarily in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, the league also drew clubs from Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota as its core membership contracted in later years.

My Go-To Sublimation Paper — Flawless Results Every Time
Size: 8.5"x11", Size: 8.5"x11"
This is hands down the best sublimation paper I’ve used and the only one I continue to buy. I get a perfect transfer every single time—no fracturing, no fading, and no uneven results. The paper dries fast, which makes my workflow so much smoother, especially when I’m producing items in batches. I use this regularly to make air fresheners and tote bags for my small business, and the color payoff is always vibrant and crisp. The transfer rate is excellent, and it works beautifully on light-colored, high-quality polyester and other sublimation-ready surfaces. If you’re a small business owner or crafter who values consistency, quality, and ease of use, this paper is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it and will continue to repurchase.

Best Sublimation Paper
Size: 8.5"x11"
I’ve been using A-Sub paper for my sublimation projects, and it is easily one of the best. The ink dries almost instantly once printed, so I don’t have to worry about smudging the design or getting those annoying "pizza wheel" marks from the printer rollers. The paper itself feels substantial and doesn't tear or curl easily. One of the biggest wins for me is that it never jams; it feeds through perfectly every time, saving me the frustration of wasting expensive ink and paper. When I go to press my designs, the ink releases almost completely, leaving very little behind on the paper and putting all that color onto the project. The final results look super professional, with colors that are vibrant and sharp rather than looking faded or dull. It has worked perfectly for everything I’ve tried so far, and if you want a reliable paper that gives you consistent, high-quality results, this is definitely the one to get.
