The Milwaukee Brewers really improved their game in the 2007 season, finishing 2nd place in the NL Central and jumping from a .494 win average in 2006 to a .512 win average in 2007, though it wasn’t quite enough to make it to the playoffs. GM Doug Melvin is determined to fix last year’s mistakes by strengthening the bullpen, signing Eric Gagné to a one year, $10 million deal and adding David Riske and Salomon Torres to the roster. Mike Cameron and Gabe Kapler were also brought in to fortify the defense, though with all the controversy surrounding Cameron, some question the wisdom of that move. Will these changes be enough to get the Brewers to the playoffs? Always loyal fans will fill the stands at Miller Park to find out, so don’t wait, get your 2008 Milwaukee Brewers tickets today!

Early Years

When the Seattle Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers following the 1969 season they entered a city with an already strong baseball tradition. Home to the Braves from 1953 to 1965, the baseball fans had been treated to watching such all time greats as Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, and Eddie Mathews. The Brewers did not experience the instant success of the Braves but the fans’ patience paid off in 1981.
