With CC Sabathia heading into Cooperstown, take a look back at the 2008 season finale that launched the Brewers into the playoffs.
The complete story of how the Brewers landed big left-hander CC Sabathia in July 2008, setting the stage for a once-in-a-generation run.
With Sabathia and Parker, who played for the Brewers in 1990, the franchise has now had nine players elected to the Hall of Fame. Previous inductees include Hank Aaron, Rollie Fingers, Don Sutton, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Trevor Hoffman, and Ted Simmons.
Some of the biggest young names in the Brewers organization will be on the big-league side of camp next month.
The Milwaukee Brewers say they will honor Bob Uecker at American Family Field next summer. The longtime broadcaster, who also developed a national following for his work on television and in movies, passed away this week at age 90. His family said Uecker suffered from lung cancer.
Bob Uecker was more than just a radio voice. He was a Milwaukee icon and part of the family fabric of multiple generations of Brewers fans. Back in October, I was driving back to my Bloomington ...
Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.
I remember watching Bob Uecker when he was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The former major league baseball catcher was hilarious. He always made fun of himself and his limited playing ability.
Former Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame Monday, receiving 86.8% of the vote in his first year on the ballot. Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner were also voted in.
C.C. Sabathia’s left arm provided him with 251 wins and 3,093 strikeouts over a fabulous 19-year career that officially ended on the mound when he couldn’t physically pitch anymore but ended up with a spot in Cooperstown.
CC Sabathia made some richly deserved history on Tuesday night, earning induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his very first year on the ballot. And it's not hard to see why: The big lefty was one of the very best pitchers in the world at his peak — he finished top-five in Cy Young voting five times in five years from 2007-2011 — and demanded the ball and delivered in the biggest moments.
