A few seconds later I caught a Brewers batting helmet that someone had tossed into the air. I kept it.

I swear, Ray Charles had better eye contact with his audience...<BR/><BR/>As I post this, you must be settling into your seat at Miller Park. I have two lasting memories of baseball in Milwaukee. The first is as a kid watching the Braves' Tommy Aaron hit a walk-off grand slam out of County Stadium, when manager Bobby Bragan had ordered him to bunt. The second is of the moment in 1982 when the Brewers won the ALCS ... the stadium just started shaking as Yount threw to Cooper for the final out. I can recall the emotion of the moment like it was yesterday. Baseball is a great game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
