Milwaukee Brewers Tickets Information
Milwaukee Brewers
Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Milwaukee Brewers are a Major League Baseball team. They are in the Central Division of the National League. The Brewers were part of the American League from their creation as an expansion club in 1969 through the 1997 season, after which they switched to the National League.
The team has been nicknamed "The True Blue Brew Crew," "The Brew Crew" or even simply "The Crew." The 1982 club won the American League pennant is known as "Harvey's Wallbangers," but that moniker refers to the 1982 club in particular and not Brewers in general.
2004-Present: Attanasio era
On January 16, 2004, Selig announced that his ownership group was putting the team up for sale. In September 2004, the Brewers announced they had reached a verbal agreement with Los Angeles investment banker Mark Attanasio to purchase the team for $180 million. It was completed on January 13, 2005, at Major League Baseball's quarterly owners meeting. Since taking over the franchise, Attanasio has worked hard to build bridges with Milwaukee baseball fans, including bringing back the classic "ball and glove" logo of the club's glory days on "Retro Sunday" home games, during which they also wear versions of the team's old pinstriped uniforms.
Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks at Spring Training, 2005In 2005, under Attanasio's ownership, the team finished 81-81 to protect its first non-losing record since 1992. With young talent assembled over the past five years, including Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy and Corey Hart, the Brewers show renewed competitiveness. It has hired former stars Yount (bench coach) and Dale Sveum (third base coach), popular players for the Brewers in the '80s.
The 2006 season started well with the Brewers winning their first 5 games and ending April with a 14-11 record. On April 22 2006, the Brewers set an MLB record with five home runs in one inning, the fourth frame of an 11-0 defeat of the Cincinnati Reds. They set a new club mark with six home runs in one game on April 29, including two by Fielder, in a 16-2 defeat of the Chicago Cubs. The second half of the season started badly as Derek Turnbow blew three saves in the first seven games. Ben Sheets returned July 25 against Pittsburgh and pitched extraordinarily for 7 innings before the Brewers bullpen blew the game in the eighth. With doubts that all-star left fielder Carlos Lee would re-sign with the club, the Brewers traded Lee on July 28 along with minor league prospect Nelson Cruz to the Texas Rangers in exchange for outfielders Kevin Mench, Laynce Nix, reliever Francisco Cordero, and minor league pitching prospect Julian Cordero. He started strong with the Brewers and converted his first 10 save opportunities. In late August the Brewers swept the Colorado Rockies to climb back to 3 games under .500 and within striking distance of the NL Central title, but than lost 10 games in a row. The season ended on October 1 with Carlos Villanueva pitching a game against the eventual World Series champion St Louis Cardinals.
In 2006, after losing starters JJ Hardy, Rickie Weeks, and Corey Koskie to injuries, the Brewers were forced to trade for veteran infielders David Bell and Tony Graffanino. They also suffered setbacks when losing starting pitchers Ben Sheets and Tomo Ohka for a large amount of time, forcing Triple A starters Ben Hendrickson, Dana Eveland, Carlos Villanueva, and Zach Jackson into starting roles at different points in the year. The Brewers ended the season with a 75-87 record.
At the end of the season, Attanasio stated that he and General Manager Doug Melvin would make some decisions about returning players for the 2007 season. With young players waiting in the minor leagues, during the off-season the key additions were starting pitcher and 2006 NLCS MVP Jeff Suppan, starter Claudio Vargas, reliever Greg Aquino, catcher Johnny Estrada, and returning Brewer Craig Counsell. The Brewers parted ways with 2006 starters Doug Davis and Tomo Ohka, as well as fan favorite Jeff Cirillo.
During the current 2007 season, Brewers have been called one of the 'sleeper teams of 2007' and 'contenders in the NL' by numerous sports analysts and magazines. To celebrate the 1982 successful Milwaukee Brewers team, the franchise decided to have the 2007 season be named as the "25th anniversary of '82", with more fan giveaways than any other Major League Baseball team, and more discounts and deals in Brewer history.
On February 24, 2007, they hosted an "Arctic Tailgate", opening up Miller Park's parking lot to celebrate the first day of sales for single season games throughout the 2007 season. They posted the third-highest total of single day ticket sales with 85,000 tickets sold in one day.
At the beginning of May 2007, the Brewers had the best record in baseball for the first time since 1982.
