He complains about a lack of playing time, and he’s not as good as the starting third baseman (Molitor) or DH (Money). Yay, Roy Howell!
Card of the Day
Card of the Day: 1982 Donruss Rollie Fingers
This card is a reminder of one of the game’s greatest trades. The Brewers sent Sixto Lezcano, Lary Sorenson, and Dave Green to the Cardinals in exchange for Fingers, Pete Vuckovich and Ted Simmons.
Card of the Day: 1982 Donruss Cecil Cooper
“Now batting… First baseman… Number 15… Cecillllllll COOOOOppperrrrrr!”
Robin Yount and Paul Molitor may be the most beloved Brewers of all time, but there was no better entrance and crowd response than with Cecil Cooper. Dude must’ve felt like a rock star every time he came to the plate.
Card of the Day: 1982 Topps Jim Slaton
Slaton spent 10 seasons with the Brewers prior to 1982, taking a one-year hiatus with the Tigers in 1978. You’ve gotta love this card for the great pose and mustache if nothing else.
Card of the Day: 1982 Topps Mike Caldwell
He’s often overshadowed by bigger names on the team, but Caldwell is an all-time Brewers great. In 1978, he went 22-9!
Card of the Day: 1982 Donruss Buck Rodgers
With Buck Rodgers steering the ship, it’s bound to be SMOOTH sailing for a successful 1982 season!
