Host Family Program

Host a milkman! 

In the world of summer baseball, there are a number of individuals and groups who ensure the players have a positive experience as they pursue their dream of playing professional baseball. Did you know that those who play one of the most crucial roles are our Host Families? Host Families are an essential component in any summer baseball team’s success – both for our players and the organization. Nearly all our players are not from the Greater Milwaukee area let alone Wisconsin, with some coming from as far away as the Caribbean.  A welcoming home and caring family go a long way in ensuring a rich, positive experience for our Milkmen.

What you provide

We don’t ask for much – simply a clean bedroom with a bed made for an athlete with access to a bathroom and laundry.  We also ask that you live within about 15 minutes of the ballpark. Beyond that, it is up to you as a family.  Host families are welcome to invite the player to be a part of their family meals or TV time or other activities.  In most cases, as your relationship with your player grows, you will find him to be “one of the family”. These guys will keep odd hours with late-night games and a crazy travel schedule, one more request would be to have an “open fridge” policy for after-hours eating! 

The time commitment would be from approximately May 1 through September 10 (this will vary pending the player’s schedule, length of stay with the team, playoffs, etc.)

How the milkmen staff help

Whether at home or on the road, the Milkmen get a pre-game snack and a full post-game meal.  If a player requires transportation, we will try to place them near a player who has a car, so they can carpool to the stadium.  Once the player arrives, we will address with them the expectations of their host families and we would encourage you to do the same.  If any issues arise, we will solve the problem, move the player, or send the player home.  These are all seasoned vets of baseball who have more than likely stayed with host families over the years. They all should have a high level of respect for the sacrifice you as a family are making for the summer.

The benefits of hosting

We believe hosting a Milkman will be a very rewarding experience and hope you build a long-lasting relationship with your player and end up playing a role in their pursuit of a career in professional baseball. Not to mention, Milkmen players can be excellent role models for young children and teenagers and are often great company for the summer.  Other perks include:

  • Full season ticket for each member of the family living in your household
  • Guaranteed giveaway items
  • 25% off all Milkmen merchandise
  • On-field recognition at a Milkmen home game
  • An insider’s perspective of the Milkmen’s team from your player
