The Brewers were my first baseball team. I grew up living 2 blocks from the old County Stadium. Those were the days when parents just cut their kids loose to roam the area, at will. I remember going to some games, by myself at 12 years old. The bleacher tickets were a dollar.
I quickly became a huge fan of the game and Tommy Harper. Shortly after we moved to Maine, Harper was traded to the Sox, and I switched team loyalty to the Red Sox in 1972.
We face a lefty today: Koenig, and we send Pivetta to the hill. The Brewers are a good team, even without Burnes, and we have our work cut out for us.
One game at a time!
