A little story. In what was supposed to be the final year of County Stadium, Rob Neyer and I went to Milwaukee to report on the old ballpark. As it turned out, the Milwaukee Brewers would play another year there due to construction delays, but what we found was a park in tatters and an organization that was a joke.
