Today we continue our annual tradition of taking a moment before turning the calendar to a new year to remember figures from the Brewers’ and Wisconsin’s baseball history that we’ve lost over the last twelve months.
It’s been another difficult year for those with an appreciation of Wisconsin’s baseball history: While the 13 former Brewers, Milwaukee Braves and others with Wisconsin ties that passed are fewer than the 17 we saw last year, this year’s list includes a Hall of Famer, a player featured on the Milwaukee Braves’ Wall of Honor and a recipient of the Hall of Fame’s Buck O’Neil Lifetime Achievement Award, among others.
