There are four true immortals when it comes to Milwaukee baseball: Henry Aaron, Robin Yount, Bob Uecker, and Paul Molitor. The first three listed have bronze statues to recognize their standing in the hearts and minds of fans. It’s time Molitor joins this trio and becomes, fittingly, number four.
As the Minnesota Twins and manager Paul Molitor wrap up the season series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, it’s time to acknowledge a travesty outside Miller Park. It’s absolutely ridiculous that arguably the best player to don a Brewers’ jersey doesn’t have a statue in Milwaukee.
Sure, he has his number retired, has been honored in smaller ways, and has a plaque in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
