SELIG, UECKER and the 1982 BALL CLUB

[A Swing and A Drive]

I was fortunate enough to be at the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers Reunion ceremony before the game against the Phillies on Saturday July 15th.

 

Seeing Bob Uecker and Bud Selig on the field together was especially awesome because Baseball in Milwaukee would not be the same without these guys (or even exist!).

 

It got me thinking about 2 things:

 

1. Bob and Bud are both 82 years old. I REALLY, REALLY hope the Brewers can bring the City of Milwaukee a World Series Championship before either of these great Milwaukeee legends passes on.

 

2. As the 1982 Brewers ceremony was taking place, it got me to thinking.....

 

WAS THERE A SINGLE PLAYER ON THE 2017 BREWERS or PHILLIES 25-MAN ROSTER FOR THAT NIGHTS GAME THAT WAS EVEN ALIVE WHEN THE 1982 WORLD SERIES WAS BEING PLAYED?
