With a lot of free time these days, I’ve been going through some of my old sports cards. If you kids behave and play along, I’d be happy to play “Name This Brewer “ I’ll start with an easy one...

Had he been healthy in October of 1982, the Brewers would have a World Series title
One of the great tragedies of WI sports... until this year.
Ol’Rollie Fingers was easy. A little more challenging:

I will go to my grave thinking Vuke hurt something (even more than he already was by that point) after going 11 full innings on 9/20/82. Was a really solid year up to that point, and after that 11 inning game he went:
6.2 innings/6 Runs (L)
4.1 innings/5 Runs (L)
8.0 innings/4 Runs (L)
6.1 innings/3 Runs (ND)
8.2 innings/6 Runs (L)
5.1 innings/3 Runs (L)

Are you trying to make me drive to Utah and murder you for all these horrible memories of 1982?

Incorrect random white guy with facial hair.
And I'm at a loss on that one, and I'm going to be mad when I hear who it is. Marty Pattin? (unless you went back to Braves...)
Marty Pattin it is...color me impressed!
And oh, I can go back and do EVERY Brave as that was my collecting goal...every Brave card between 1953 and 1965...there were hundreds of options between Topps, Bowman and regional sets like Johnston Cookies and Salada Tea coins.
Let me work on your random white guy a bit.

Just was looking at a mass of dude in the mid 00's that all looked the same. Not in any way a reflection of anyone's knowledge.
This is long time Minnesota Twin and Canadian baseball HoF Corey Koskie, who played his final MLB with Milwaukee.

thats quite a stat, Mr. Kiel
The Pilots moved to Milwaukee during spring training, 1970, and were renamed the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers narrowly avoided 100 losses in 1970 despite the fact that Roof hit a career-high thirteen home runs.[1] He suffered a concussion early in the 1971 season after getting hit on the helmet by a pitch thrown by Minnesota Twins pitcher Bert Blyleven.[14] Ironically, Roof was dealt to the Twins for fellow catcher Paul Ratliff three months later, and caught Blyleven in his second game with the Twins.[15]

Yeah.
I forgot about some guy named Aaron.....😂
Fun Fact. The Milwaukee Brewers and I am exactly the same age.
The Milwaukee Brewers were officially born on April 1, 1970 when Federal Bankruptcy referee Sidney Volinn declared the Pilots bankrupt and awarded the franchise to Selig’s group for $10.8 million.
Same day I was born.
