Most Brewers fans have enjoyed a beer and a brat at Miller Park, proudly
sported a hat with the iconic ball-in-glove logo, and listened to Bob
Uecker call a game. Names like Pete Yuckovich and Gorman Thomas are just
as familiar as Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. But even the most die-hard
fans don't know everything about their beloved Brewers. In 100 Things
Brewers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, Tom Haudricourt has
assembled the facts, traditions, and achievements sure to educate and
entertain true fans. Do you know which player regularly stopped by
tailgates before games? Which pitcher worked as a garbageman before
joining the Brewers? And why was Uecker's first scouting report covered
in mashed potatoes and gravy? All of the key figures and events are
here: Bud Selig's purchase of the Seattle Pilots in 1970; Harvey's
Wallbangers of the early 1980s; the 2011 NL Central title, and even the
team's recent development under manager Craig Counsell.
