My dad grew up following the Braves, his favorite player was big Joe Adcock. He told me a lot of cool stories about the game. I spent countless Sundays in summer listening to the Brewers on the radio in the back yard while I'd hit baseballs into the field next to our house. I was hooked at a young age. I have photos of myself when I was maybe 4 years old, full Brewers uniform, posing like it was a baseball card photo. Started going to games around that time. I thought County Stadium was a palace. The largest green grass field I had ever seen in my life, Bob Betts the old PA announcer with the greatest voice I'd never be able to put a face to. I was part of the kids fan club for years, got the What's Brewing magazine(I still look through my old copies every once in a blue moon). Billy Spiers became my favorite player after I recieved a What's Brewing with him on the cover making a full out diving stab of a ball. The strike couldn't stop a 9 year old from loving the game, the horrible Brewers teams from the 90s and early 00s couldn't stop me from following this team.
