MILWAUKEE -- "Still looks good," a smiling Lorenzo Cain said as he pulled on a Brewers jersey for the first time in more than seven years. And with that, the memories flooded back.
Cain and his original team finalized a reunion Friday with a five-year pact that guarantees $80 million, a Brewers record for a free agent. Now 31, Cain will wear No. 6 this time around after donning No. 36 for his first stint in Milwaukee as a wiry rookie in 2010.
"I remember saying, 'You can hit the ball a long ways. Just try to do it,'" said Brewers manager Craig Counsell, a teammate of Cain's back then.
