Baseball is a sport built on tradition. One of the game’s great traditions is the in-stadium organist, a staple of the ballpark atmosphere for the last 85 years. But a short little article in last week’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel confirmed something that perceptive Brewers fans may have noticed in the past year: the club no longer employs an organist.
Milwaukee’s Dean Rosko was hired at just 18 years old to be the Miller Park organist in 2003 and worked in the stadium through the 2023 season. Unfortunately, when the Brewers expanded their center field scoreboard and added one in right field, they needed more space in the control room, and the stadium organ was sacrificed.
