Brewers Highlight Reel

[Stealofhome]

In the spirit of the optimism thread, I thought it would be fun to put together some favorite highlights of the team. When things are going bad or the team is struggling, it would be nice to watch reminders of better days. I'll start with one of my favorite moments from last year, Mark Canha's grand slam.

The Brewers hit with the highest winning percentage added all year in 2023 came from Jahmai Jones in his debut with the team.

And a pitching highlight as well, for all the grief Andrew Chafin gets, this was the biggest WPA play for a pitcher last year (of course, the single, walk, E1 to load the bases didn't help his cause):

Fridays are for the classics!

Down 3-2 to the California Angels in game 5 of the 1982 ALCS, Cecil Cooper hits a single to LF to score Charlie Moore and Jim Gantner in the bottom of the 7th and send the Brewers to the World Series.

And on defense, Robin Yount runs and dives to save and finalize Juan Nieves' no-hitter in 1987.

Could only find this one on Youtube, but this was a classic. One of the longer and more memorable regular season games I've attended.

The Cubs might have beat the Brewers today, but they didn't this day:

That ball was 6 rows over my head.  One of my favorite in person moments.   See me running in my McGehee jersey.  Doxed myself

With all the discussion about Chris Capuano's gem against the Rockies this week, a highlight from his career. I couldn't find a video of his home run, so this is the best video of him batting:

His last pitch resulted in a caught stealing:

Then-Brewers AAA player Joey Meyer hit the longest verified HR in professional baseball history at 582 feet in 1987. An interesting story about it this year here.

Christian Yelich has the longest for the Brewers in the Statcast era, also in Denver, at 499 feet.
