I have been a Brewer fan my entire life. I have followed this team through the ups, and the many, many downs. I remember going to my first game at the age of 5, in 1982, and falling in love with a team, and a stadium. I remember listening to the Brewer game on Easter Sunday of 1987, with my whole family listening intently and cheering when our Rob Deer tied the game, and when our current manager hit the game winning homer. The names. Yount, Molitor, Cooper, Gantner, Ogilvie, Vuke, Fingers, no doubt. But Juan Nieves, Chris Bosio, Bill Wegman, Jeff Cirillo, Darryl Hamilton, Greg Vaughn, and many, many more. The heroes of my childhood, the guys I stayed up many, many summer nights listening to Bob Uecker and Pat Hughes call their names. I cried when Braun hit his homer this afternoon. It was a realization that very soon, I would be watching my team, the team I've followed through thick and thin, the team I've loved my entire life, the team I've followed no matter where I've lived, was going to be playing in the postseason. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be rewarded by this team, to have at least a few more games to watch them. I want them to make it to the world series, but for now, I'll bask in the joy and happiness of the moment and the celebration currently going on!
