The early 80s Brewers were a stacked bunch. Yount, Molitor, Cooper, Oglive, G. Thomas, Sutton, Fingers, Bando. That's all I can think of before watching this.
I went to a bunch of games at County Stadium it was honestly a miserable stadium but I had some great memories there! I recall as a kid jumping on top of the Brewers Dugout and stuck my head under and asked Paul Molitor for his autograph. He grabbed my card and said I'll give it right back. Then about 30 seconds later came back out of the dugout and gave me my signed card! The same game I also got Don Mattingly's autograph. He stood at the fence and signed autographs for fans for 30 minutes after the game. What a couple of great players and guys!
One of the proudest moments in my life.....the other proud moment was when I got to watch my Dad a coach Third Base with the best team ever!!!! Miss and love you dad!!!! #36 Harry C Warner ❤️⚾️ ONCE A BREWER ALWAYS A BREWER!!!!!!
It's the only memory I have of the Brewers. After the 1992 season I was so upset with them for not paying Paul Molitor and let him go to Blue Jays. I watched Molitor play win the World Series in 1993 and I stopped watching after that year. I was only 16 years old but understood it wasn't right that the team that just won the World Series in 1992 could just pouch the Brewers best player because they had the money wasn't right. In Basketball and Football they have a salary cap to stop that nonsense but MLB will just let the rich franchises steal all the best players. It's financially a rigged sport.
I’m glad we are in the NL tho. I love having the rivalry with the cardinals and cubs and also I feel like we have a better chance at success in the NL than we would in the AL
I was so lucky to be at the right age from 1978-1982 when this team was so good. Before that I would’ve too young to appreciate it and after that I was out of state in college. Who could have known how quickly it would fall apart.
Brewers kept Paul Molitor, Robin Yount and Jimmy Gantner together for 14 years straight. They didn't win any more pennants after '82 but we had a great team through '92 when Molitor left town and Gantner retired. After that the wheels fell off.
"Greatest baseball town in America." Easy Bud, thats like calling the south side of Chicago "the safest place in America."...Dont get me wrong, Brewers fans are passionate and they support their team well but lets not let the worst commissioner in the history of baseball fool us with that statement. As for that '82 squad they were fun to watch but just didnt quite have enough pitching to win it all. Their lineup was the best in the game hands down in 1982. History says its even better now then it was then with HOF's Yount and Molitor.
Brewers consistently draw 3 million fans in the smallest market in baseball. Braves outdrew the Yankees in the 1950s. Don’t let your disdain for Selig blind you to the fact that Milwaukee has more support from its baseball fans than most teams do.
we celebrated the 25th, 35, and now will celebrate the 40th anniversary of a team that lost the World Series; wow! How many cities celebrate losers? How many parades are held in New York to celebrate losers?
