Fun little Counsell-Sutton 1992 article.

[Kurt]

I was looking through old Wisconin State Journals that I saved for one reason or another and came across this little article from 6/21/92.

 

-Just like old times:

Darrin Sutton and Craig Counsell used to screw around at County Stadium as youths while their fathers, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Don Sutton and Brewers Director if Community Relations John Counsell, went about their professions. Thursday, they faced off as professionals, Sutton, drafted by the California Angels out of University of Alabama-Birmingham, and Counsell, a former Whitefish Bay High School athlete drafted by the Colorado Rockies out of University of Notre Dame, were opponents as Sutton's Bosie Hawks met Counsell's Bend Rockies in a Class A northwest League game. Counsell won the battle, going 3-for-3.

I was at that game.

 

Edit: Future Brewers Angel Echevaria and Juan Acevedo also played in that game.

I hope you never forget that day. It was quite historic.

It was actually -- It was the first game in the Rockies franchise history.
