Like a few others here, my earliest memories of Brewers baseball were those 90’s teams. Living in Cubs vs Cards land as a young kid, those were tough seasons. It was hard to talk baseball or wear any gear without getting laughed out of the room.
Since those days, I’ve always dreamed of a Brewers World Series, like any other fan. What I never dreamed would happen is that the Brewers would come to dominate the division. Too small, too poor, too unattractive to talented players and front office minds—maybe the stars would align and they’d run into a title by sheer luck like some teams do, but true organizational excellence from top to bottom allowing for multiple division titles clustered together? That never entered my wildest dreams.
The postseason is an infuriating crapshoot. But one thing is for sure: the Brewers don’t suck anymore. And grade school me keeps reminding adult me to be thrilled, and so I am.
At least until next month…
