The University of Wisconsin-Madison's baseball program started in 1870 and George Davies was their first player to make it to the Major League level.

Why did we choose a Bud Selig quote for the introduction at the top of this page? Because the Commissioner of Baseball received his degree in American History & Political Science from the University of Wisconsin.
