MILWAUKEE -- The late Darryl Hamilton was the talk of Miller Park on Tuesday, where the former Brewers and Mets outfielder was remembered for the joyful smile he wore for 13 Major League seasons, the first seven in Milwaukee.
The Brewers held a moment of silence for Hamilton on Tuesday prior to their first game since Hamilton was found dead Sunday in suburban Houston, the victim of an apparent murder-suicide. Brewers and Mets players lined the warning track and doffed their caps, a fitting tribute since Hamilton began and ended his career with those clubs.
"He fit right in with us," said Brewers great Jim Gantner, who was entrenched at second base when Hamilton arrived in 1988.
