Milwaukee Brewers Tickets For A Day At Miller Park
This professional baseball team was first established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1969. Their name was taken from the brewing industry that the city is still famous for today. At the start, the team began in Seattle, Washington and was known as the Seattle Pilots. The Pilots would only play one season before the team went bankrupt. The team was acquired by Bud Selig and sent to Milwaukee. From 1969 to 1997, the Brewers were an expansion team because the Milwaukee Braves had been a team in the city from 1953 to 1965.
With nicknames like The Crew, True Blue Brew Crew, Beermakers, and The Brew Crew, the Brewers have no World Series titles to their credit yet. In 1982, they won an American League Pennant. That same year, they also won the American League East Division title. In 2008, the Brewers won their only Wild card berth to date. This win came after a 26 year dry spell the team experienced after their appearance in the World Series. The team colors are navy, metallic gold and white; actually hand me downs from the days of being the Seattle Pilots. Many regard the early years in Milwaukee as a transitional time for the Brewers. From 1970 to 1977, memorable engagements include the trade that returned Hank Aaron to the Brewers and the introduction of Bernie Brewer, the team's mascot.
The years that followed went down in history as the glory ones for the Brewers. In 1978, they won a total of 93 games and put a mark in the history books as it was the first time that a Milwaukee team made it to the pennant races in the National League since 1960. Gorman Thomas scored 45 home runs in 1979. Reggie Jackson and Ben Oglivie was league leaders in homers during 1980. In 2007, Prince Fielder jumped the bar with 50 homes runs; besting Thomas' previous record of 45. The Brewers won an American League pennant in 1982 but with Rollie Fingers injured, the Brewers couldn't overtake St. Louis and was defeated.
By 1984, the road was more like a rollercoaster for the Brewers than anything. Between 1984 and 1986, pitcher Juan Nieves pitched a no-hitter; the only one in the Brewers entire history to date. On a positive note, Paul Molitor had a 39 game hitting streak but for the most part, the years were plagued with lows and highs.
Located at One Brewers Way in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the current home of the Brewers; Miller Park. Serving as a replacement to Milwaukee County Stadium, Miller Park was constructed starting in 1996 and cost $400 million dollars to complete. Owned by the Brewers and the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball District, Miller Park opened on April 6, 2001. The playing surface is natural grass and the venue has been home to the Brewers since its opening. The Cleveland Indians occupied Miller Park for a spell in 2007 as did the Houston Astros in 2008.
Miller Park has exciting events like The Klement's Sausage Race in the sixth inning and visits from the team mascot Bernie, who splashes into the Kalahari Splash Zone.
