This is the last one I think before we see another "real" playoff game...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Note to all, if we get back to the playoffs, don't storm the field unless we win the whole thing. Bad karma after game 5 when the fans stormed the field.

Ahh, Iron Mike. Mr. Warmth. 120+ pitches. That was sweet.

Actually, that whole Brewers Classics series was pretty sweet.

 

Does anyone know why the Cardinals were wearing black arm bands in the WS? I didn't hear it explained by the TV crew.

were they actually allowed to storm the field, or did they just do it anyway? I really enjoyed watching that last night, hopefully I'll get to see a World Series in Milwaukee in the next few years.

Storming the field was a no-no, but people did it anyways. Oglivie had his wrist hurt when the fans rushed the field in the ALCS.

 

Yes, good to see the classics. But the one I was looking forward to the most was the Yankee game in '81 and they didn't show it.

 

Pro baseball has been around 125 years, yet it's interesting to see how the game has evolved just the last 25 years:

- no pitch counts; just before Yount's homer, the comment that both pitchers are at 180 pitches.

- no LOGGY's yet.
