The Trophy that Sealed the Deal


Ah, the elusive 1982 World Series Trophy. Still can't get my mitts on it. In 1981 this fans love affair with the Brew Crew began. It was the strike season and the Brewers lost out to the Yanks in the first division series ever. My first of many reasons to hate the Yanks. By 1982 the Brewers won the AL East on their own. They were down to the Angels and pulled out the ALCS in 5 games. I listened on my walkman at the WP Bowl. The WS was a heart breaker, I remember Gorman Thomas fouling off what seemed like a hundred foul balls before finally succumbing to Sutter and the Cards. Damn you Willie McGee!!!
