A little background: last night the Brewers won avoiding playoff elimination and it was amazing. Today, they lost it sucked. Keep the aforementioned in mind as you read on.
#1. I profoundly thank Bud Selig for building Miller Park…you may love him, you may hate him, but this he did against all odds….try and argue this with me you will lose!
#2. I profoundly thank Mark Attanasio for buying the Brewers in 2004 and bringing winning baseball back to Milwaukee in my father’s lifetime.
#3. I thank both of the above gentleman for signing my Brewers cap last night. Don’t believe they both signed it?….ask me anytime in the next year- it will be in my possession.
#4. We have a friend who works for the Brewers…she is young enough to be our daughter…Cheryl and I now love her like she is our daughter. She remains unnamed for lots of reasons but because of her this was the best baseball season of our lifetime. You know who you are…when you need it (whatever it is) ask for it.
#5. The team…how could we not love you? come on! But….not coming out of your clubhouse for at least 2000 fans cheering you on….I do not get it. I was so upset by this I called talk radio. Ultimately the host agreed with me…like I care…I just wanted you to come out and tip your hats. You made baseball in Milwaukee a special thing again. We (all of us waiting and chanting…) simply wanted to say Thank You! It was really that simple.
There is so much more I could write…and I do love to write but I think I am done. Paying real money for tickets next year will be more difficult because you didn’t come out of the dugout after 162+ games of us cheering and crying and being there with you…but we will. Remember….for you it’s a game or a job or whatever…for us…it is a labor of love…we love baseball in Milwaukee…we really really do.
I’m done with baseball now until I take my awesome drop dead gorgeous wife Cheryl to Spring training so she can meet her idol Ryan Braun. I could go on and on about Ryan and all we have in common with him but I will not. Ryan, simply thank you for signing and staying for the next 8 years…we will cheer for you as long as you are here…win or lose. 
Spring training is just around the corner and Arizona is beautiful during OUR Winter!
