Growing up in Northwest WI in the 60's my favorite team was the Mets. Actually, they were my dad's favorite team. Gil Hodges was the man in my father's eyes. 1969 was an extremely magical year for a 7th grader who loved baseball. In the spring of 1970 I read in the St. Paul Poineer Press that the Seattle Pilots were moving to Milwaukee. My eyes lit up, I was going to get a team of my own. From day one I was a Brewers fan. I lived and died with Steve Hovley, Tommy Harper, Gus Gil, and the rest of their teammates. Even though being a Brewers fan can be very frustrating, I have loved every minute of it. Many times a year I think of Bud Selig and silently thank him for giving me my team. While they will probably frustrate me for the rest of my life, I will be a Brewers fan until the day that I die.
