    First, Wisconsin's own J.P. Feyereisen: Then Jedd Gyorko, who had an excellent 2020 COVID season, otherwise known as the season that time forgot: Finally, Tim Johnson, who was #4 before Molitor. Johnson has a pretty interesting story in his own right. He was hired as manager of the Blue Jays in 1998, and went on to win 88 games, only to get embroiled in a scandal concerning lies he told his team concerning his combat service in Vietnam. He never held another MLB job after that.

    Apparently Pat Listach wore #4 in 1996 for some reason. I can find no visual record of this, though. But it apparently did happen.

    Hiring Bando was basically one of the last things Selig did as Brewers owner before he became acting commissioner. Granted many believe that Bud was still pulling the strings, at least early on, but as Bud's family took over more operation of the club, the downfall escalated. Bando made a major blunder by not re-signing Paul Molitor, and that left a terrible taste in the mouths of a lot of fans. But he did oversee that 1992 team that was a lot of fun and was an eyelash away from winning the division. Phil Garner was a very good hire IMO.

    Regarding his time as GM, I always viewed him as a solid personnel guy whose hands were constantly tied by terrible, meddlesome ownership.

    Not real sure why, but I always really liked Keith Ginter. Maybe its because he was a bright spot on some pretty bad teams.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Even the over-the-hill version of Cirillo who wore this number was still a solid player.

    Psst ... don't say the quiet part out loud ;)

    Even with a Brewers loss today, the magic number continues to go down, meaning we get this sweet Mark Reynolds pic. Mark wasn't good at much, but he could definitely hit dingers. Thanks for continuing to crap the bed, Cubs! And to think ... there were a few ready to hand them the division a couple weeks ago.

    "No reason to go crazy" ... but you're going to follow it up with a completely hyperbolic statement ripping on the hottest team in baseball. Got it.

    Those are the antagonists who tend to crap on every move the Brewers make. They probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. I will admit that I wasn't super excited about the Canha acquisition. It was a need-filler move. But he's exceeded even the loftiest expectations ... to the point where he is looking like the best deadline move any team had.

    Can't forget the most famous #8 in Brewers history ... Nellie Cruz!

    The Brewers certainly had a habit of cycling through once very good, but now over-the-hill catchers in the 90s and 2000s. Here's Joe Oliver!
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Gotta love those nights when the magic number decreases by two. Seems like there has been quite a few of those the last week. Cubs are really scuffling now.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yep ... being too quick on my Google search doomed me. Not many solid Brewers pics of Stairs out there ... although he did have a good single season (.827 OPS in 315 ABs) for the team.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Wisconsin's own Vinny Rottino ...
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Nomo Mania made its way to Milwaukee for one season. It was pretty cool seeing him pitch for the Brewers. He was pretty solid too.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    D'oh! I thought he looked a little svelte in the photo. Vogt is a solid choice for #12 as well though. Here's a Stairs pic:
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Matt Stairs gave hope to dudes with dad bods that they, too, could realize their MLB dreams ... what's funny is that I thought Stairs was pretty much done after his year with the Brewers at age 34, but he kicked around MLB for 10 more years (and had some very productive seasons) after his 1-year stint in Milwaukee.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hope that Garrett Mitchell can knock off the rust quickly.

    After getting scorching hot a few weeks ago, the Cubs have definitely come back to earth and are scuffling a bit now. Still, the faster the Brewers can put them away, the better. Having a 4 game lead with 17 to play is a very solid position to be in, but they certainly aren't out of the woods quite yet. Just keep winning each series, and the numbers will take care of themselves in hopefully about a week to 10 days.

    Estuary's time was very short with the Brewers, but he was involved in two very large and somewhat controversial transactions ... first being acquired in the Hader deal, then being the main component going out in the highway robbery of William Contreras. He's gonna hold a pretty big spot in Brewers history for a guy who only got 9 plate appearances as a Brewer. My pick for #13 is a pitcher who I thought would team with Cal Eldred to give the Brewers one of the top rotations in the majors for a decade. Alas, injuries ruined Jeff D'Amico's once very promising career.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Because I used to love when very good MLB players ended their careers with the Brewers (after their skills had eroded), I present ... Jim Edmonds (#15) and Charlie Hayes (#14)
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Do they dare offer Carlos Santana a inexpensive one-year deal? He hasn't been a superstar since being acquired, but has been pretty solid with the bat after starting out ice cold, and is still a very good defensive 1B. But he'll be 38 next year, and his numbers have demonstrably dropped off the last couple seasons.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The Brewers' top 3 of Burnes, Woody and Freddy might be the best top 3 in baseball right now.
