From the classic history of the Milwaukee Brewers, such as the stats of a young Robin Yount and the team’s dramatic 2011 playoff run, to the lesser known trivia of the National League team, including which city the franchise relocated from after its founding year or the opposing player that attacked a fan dressed like an Italian sausage, this book for fans has it all. Collected into a fun-to-read one to 100 format, the book combines fan-favorite memories with challenging trivia and suggestions for the ultimate fan adventures—including the best places in Wisconsin to grab a drink or have a meal before a game.
