Former Brewers Catcher Jonthan Lucroy Retires, Wall of Honor Induction Saturday

I am so happy to see that he is retiring as a Brewer. He was such a key player, and was utterly dominant for a while. I'm bummed I won't be able to make it to the game on Saturday to see the ceremony in person, but Lucroy will likely be seen again in Milwaukee. Wonder if he takes a role in coaching somewhere?

Possibly my favorite Lucroy moment:

Would have been cool if his career would have been apart of a competitive stretch instead of his good seasons being on garbage teams. I kinda soured on the guy by the time he left. Between punching...sorry, his wife dropping a suitcase on his hand, complaining multiple ties about never being offered an extension, and then vetoing a trade he came off the wrong way. Pretty sure he also complained about wanting to be on a contender at one point too.

None of those things are really a huge deal, but once compounded he kinda seemed like a crybaby in a way. 

The suitcase thing was the only thing that bothered me because it was, in my opinion, such a laughably bogus story.  The other things (missing out on the big payday, wanting to play for a contender)I think people went way overboard on, as I didn't see it as him complaining so much as him being asked questions and giving an honest and reasonable answer, even if it wasn't what we as Brewers fans might have wanted to hear.
