Milwaukee Brewers



Milwaukee Brewers are a Major League Baseball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Brewers are in the Central Division of the National League. They were part of the American League from their creation as an expansion club in 1969 through the 1997 season. Afterwards, they switched to the National League. The team gained many monikers like ‘The True Blue Brew Crew', ‘The Brew Crew' or even simply ‘The Crew'.

The Brewers franchise reached its pinnacle in the late 1970s and early 1980s as their first winning season took place in 1978. The ‘Brew Crew' won 93 games and finished behind the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The following season, Milwaukee finished in second place on the strength of their home run power, led by Cecil Cooper, Ben Oglivie, and Gorman Thomas. After finishing third in 1980, they won the second half of the 1981 season. They played the Yankees in a playoff mini-series but ultimately lost it. It was the first playoff appearance for the Brewers.

In 1982, Milwaukee Brewers captured its only major league titles. They won the American League East Division title and the American League Pennant. Consequently, the team earned its only World Series appearance in franchise history. In the Series, the Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, four games to three.

On January 16, 2004, Selig announced to putting the team up for sale. In January 2005, Los Angeles investment banker Mark Attanasio purchased the team for $180 million. Since taking over the franchise, Attanasio has worked hard to build bridges with Milwaukee baseball fans. Several efforts were made to bring back the classic ‘ball and glove' logo of the club's glory days on ‘Retro Sunday' home games.

Under Attanasio's ownership, the Brewers finished 81-81 to protect its first non-losing record since 1992. With young talent, including Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy and Corey Hart, the team shows improved competitiveness. The franchise has hired former stars Yount and Dale Sveum, popular players for the Brewers in the ‘80s. The 2006 season began well with the Brewers winning their first 5 games and ending April with a 14-11 record.

On April 22, 2006, the Brewers set an MLB record with five home runs in one inning. They also set a new club mark with six home runs in one game on April 29. The second half of the season started inadequately as Derek Turnbow blew three saves in the first seven games. Ben Sheets came back in a game against Pittsburgh and pitched extraordinarily for 7 innings. With doubts that all-star left fielder Carlos Lee would re-sign with the club, the Brewers traded Lee on July 28.

The Crews swept the Colorado Rockies to climb back to 3 games under .500 in late August. Following to it, they lost 10 games in a row. On October 1, the season ended with Carlos Villanueva pitching a game against the eventual World Series champion St Louis Cardinals. Before the 2007 season, the buzz surrounding them greatly increased. The Brewers were dubbed a ‘sleeper team' and ‘contenders in the NL' by numerous sports analysts and magazines. To celebrate the successful 1982 Milwaukee Brewers team, the franchise decided to have the 2007 season be named as the ‘25th Anniversary of `82'.

During the current 2007 season, Brewers have been called one of the 'sleeper teams of 2007' and 'contenders in the NL' by numerous sports analysts and magazines. To celebrate the 1982 successful Milwaukee Brewers team, the franchise decided to have the 2007 season be named as the "25th anniversary of '82", with more fan giveaways than any other Major League Baseball team, and more discounts and deals in Brewer history.

On February 24, 2007, they hosted an "Arctic Tailgate", opening up Miller Park's parking lot to celebrate the first day of sales for single season games throughout the 2007 season. They posted the third-highest total of single day ticket sales with 85,000 tickets sold in one day.

At the beginning of May 2007, the Brewers had the best record in baseball for the first time since 1982.
