Brewers opening day starters

[Matt Breen]

Saw this interesting list over at Disciples of Uecker. I had forgotten about some of the players who populated the club in the 90s era. Rafael Roque? Don August? Steve Woodard? Sheeters was a Godsend.

Also brought up was that it should be Yo's 4th straight. Macha went with old soup one year because he had experience and gallardo might be immature.

Some of those names bring back memories of some very bad seasons, I would like to never ever think about again.

That Roque, Woodard, Wright stretch is brutal. I was so thankful for Ben Sheets after that.
