Bob was the first person I thought of when the Brewers made the World Series and of how nice it would be for them to win.

I thought of the incredible batting lineup, including Robin Yount. Her was often a 300 hitting shortstop with power and a great glove.

But people forget other great bats like Sixto Lezcano, Paul Molitor, Cecil Cooper, Larry Hisle and sluggers Ben Oilvy and Gorman Thomas. Most of their lineup was guys who would be in the number 3 or 4 spot in the batting order on other teams.

Unfortunately, for pitching they had Mike Caldwell, and no bullpen.

The Brewers did make it to WS but lost to the Cardinals in 7 games in 1982.
