milestone

we didn't run on the field in 1982
but we jumped butt naked into lake michigan
on easter sunday 1987
and we didn't know it at the time,
but we kinda baptized ourselves
as brewer fans for the rest of our lives.

i still smell the alewives.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

loyalty in baseball is far from dead.
yeh sure, some players move on to the highest bidder
or closer to home
or wanting to win a championship,
but some players sign long contracts with one team,
really long.

i don't know who started it.
maybe ryan braun or maybe it was troy tulowitzki.
i guess they like dropping anchor and avoiding  all that shop around contract hassle.
if they got families, they can buy a house and sign up the kiddies for school.
either way, players make a really good chunk of change,
but there must be something else going on like some sort of old loyalty.
braun must really want to win in milwaukee. i guess that's kind of obvious.

braun will be the brewers all time home run hitter soon.
he's 49 away from robin yount's 251.
