Man, I have a special nostalgia for the Brewers of 20 years ago. I think I may have enjoyed them more than any other team in my life.
Weeks was here, Hardy was here, Prince was starting to get here. Braun was drafted. The foundation was being laid. The team won 81 games which was seen as a monumental accomplishment at that time. You knew they weren’t quite there yet, because the pitching wasn’t quite there but there was a buzz finally that hadn’t been seen in forever.
Miller Park was still very new. It was essentially the beginning of the post-Selig era. Everything was very exciting.
