It's silly and historically stupid. Cecil Cooper was, by several factors, a better player than Jim Gantner was. I mean, I love 'em both, grew up in the late 70s/80s, etc., but if the Brewers issue 15 they ought to issue 17. Has any media outlet every written about why this is? Because Jim Gantner still throws batting practice and serves as a part time coach with the team and Cecil Cooper does not.
