even though i grew up in wauwatosa, my parents were not baseball fans so i wasn't one either growing up. i dont think i have one brewer memory before the age of 15 or 16. i started watching bits and pieces of brewer games later in my high school years (early 2000s), but they were horrible. This really didn't effect me at all, because I still had the packers and duke basketball to follow. plus, the bucks were getting really good and i didn't have time to watch much baseball in the summers because i was so busy. but i kept watching games when i could, and i would start getting excited when the brewers would get off to a hot start just about every year (only to end up sucking big time). i will also note that my favorite brewer at this time was wes helms. also note that i cannot remember ever going to 1 brewer game at this point in my life. by the time i was starting college at marquette, i was actually a true brewer fan. i watched games when i could and checked the internet each day to see how they did when i couldnt follow the game. if i had to pick 1 memory that kick-started me going from a brewer fan to a psychotic brewer fanatic, it was the big comeback against the reds where they were down like 8 or 9 to 0 and they came back and won. since then, the amount of dedication to being a brewer fan has grown exponentially each year. i have been going to a lot of games the last 3 years or so, and i only expect the craze to get worse. once i found this board, there definately was no turning back...
