==Season 5==
The Hornets were not selected in the Paste League, but the Blue Hornets were chosen by coach GreenDayEagles in the Lulu League. They did not see the same success as the previous two versions of the Hornets, falling to 7-7 and just missing out on the wild card spot. They lost in the first round of the Tier 2 playoffs to the Twins.

==Season 7==
For Season 7, coach Vissery chose the Humongous Hornets after letting a random number generator choose the adjective/location. He was placed in the Frontyard League, a division for BBL rookies and the least experienced veterans. 
The Hornets season was notable as coach Vissery played all 14 games in just a couple days, rather than the usual pace of one game per week. Another quirk of the Hornets was that they used Annie Frazier, one of the worst pitchers in the game, on the mound quite often, due to her skill with power-up pitches.
Altogether, the Hornets season wasn't their best one yet, as they finished at 4-10 near the bottom of the Frontyard League.

== Season 8 ==
Vissery returned to coach the Hornets in Season 8, placing them in the AL West. However, after drafting and playing one game, Vissery decided the stresses of playing a season were too much for him and resigned as coach. After a one-week substitute by GSchlim, the reins were then handed to mbless1415. After the mbless takeover, the Hornets had a spectacular season. After a 1-3 start, the Hornets came roaring back, finishing 9-5 and clinching the AL Wild Card. 
The Hornets faced the #2 seeded Tigers in the ALDS. (They could not face the #1 seeded Mariners in the first round, since they were also from the AL West). In the first game, the Hornets' bats came alive, and they recorded a 23-13 victory. However, coach mbless1415 did not realize there was a requirement of streaming or recording his games. The incurred penalty was not enough to discredit his win. For games two and three, mbless decided to stream the games after being unable to figure out how to record. The pressure of live streaming may have hindered the Hornets' performance, as they lost the next two games. In the deciding game 3, they lost to the AI 1-0. The Hornets were eliminated after an impressive season.

== Season 9 ==
The Hornets came back in Season 9, this time coached by DevanWolf and named the Milwaukee Hornets. They played in the AL West, on the 2001 version of the game, with a home field of Eckman Acres. After a few games, Devan was tired of playing, and relinquished the team. BBL veteran GSchlim took over for the rest of the season. Ironically, Schlim had played a substitute game for the Braves earlier in the season, and lost to the Hornets. 
Between the two coaches, the Hornets went 4-10 and missed the playoffs.

== Season 11 ==
=== 2001 ===
After a one-season absence, the Hornets returned for both leagues in Season 11. On the 2001 side, they were coached by rBBL rookie hciii, a transplant from the BBOL. They played in the NL West at a home field of Tin Can Alley. After an 0-2 start, the Hornets got hot, going on a six-game winning streak. But as hot as the Hornets' got, their cold streak was more impactful, as they lost 5 of their last 6 games to finish at 7-7. The Hornets missed the final NL Wild Card spot due to losing the head-to-head tiebreaker to the Giants.

=== 2003 ===
In the 2003 league, the Little Hornets were coached by psanchez55, returning after a long absence. The Hornets played in the Frontyard League Central at a home field of Playground Commons. The Hornets, in typical psanchez fashion, played great baseball all season long. They went 9-5 and reached the playoffs as a wild card, the #5 seed in the newly expanded playoff format. 
In the first round of the playoffs, the Hornets topped the Monsters in Game One by a score of 13-6. But the offense completely shut down for the Hornets after that. They lost the next two games 6 to -1 and 6-4, ending their season.

== Season 12 ==
=== 2001 ===
The Hornets returned in Season 12 for both leagues. On the 2001 side, new coach Ferb Fletcher created the Super-Duper Hornets, a team that played in Tin Can Alley and was placed in the NL Central. The defense for this team was strong, as evidenced with Mr. Clanky winning an Ace Wilson for the team, but the offense struggled at times, and the team finished 4-10, missing the playoffs.
The Hornets were the only team in the National League to accept an invitation to the Consolation Tournament. Although the team opened with a win against the Cardinals, the Hornets did not have many opportunities to show their skills, as they lost to the Royals and were on the receiving end of a shocking upset from the Yankees. The Hornets finished the tournament in a tie for 5th with the Cardinals.
=== 2003 ===
In 2003, coach SilverBullet102 selected the Hornets, naming them the Crazy Hornets. They played in the BL West and had Eckman Acres for their home. Despite many missed opportunities in a relatively weak division, the coach improved marginally from the previous season, and the Hornets finished 3-11.
