It’s easy for casual baseball fans to forget all about the Milwaukee Brewers.
The organization is completely Midwestern, almost to a fault. The Brewers have made the playoffs just eight times in almost 55 years of existence. They even got to the World Series in 1982 and lost to the Cardinals in Game 7.
Milwaukee even has two Hall of Famers. Paul Molitor is probably the most underrated contact hitter of all time, and Robin Yount was basically his generation’s Mike Trout.
But for the most part, Milwaukee has thrived on frugality and rarely spends big money on any players.
