Milwaukee Brewers Mount Rushmore

The third major league team to call Milwaukee home, the Brewers have typically struggled throughout their existence. However, they have had some excellent players come through their clubhouse. Which of those players make up the Brewers Mount Rushmore?

Baseball in Milwaukee has a long and vibrant history, even though the major leagues have come and gone from the city. The first Milwaukee Brewers were a part of the first American League season in 1901, but they moved to St. Louis to become the Browns in 1902. The minor league Brewers kept the name alive until major league baseball returned in 1953.

However, the Braves, despite having success on the field, left for Atlanta after the 1965 season. This time, Milwaukee did not need to wait five decades for the majors to return. After a disappointing season at the box office, the expansion Seattle Pilots were purchased by Bud Selig, who moved the team to his home town and revived the Brewers name.

Unfortunately, the Brewers have not had the same success that the Braves did. They have made the postseason only four times, with a single appearance in the World Series. Although they took the Cardinals to seven games in 1982, they ultimately fell short. With the Astros World Series victory this past year, the Brewers are now one of seven franchises that have not yet won the championship. Interestingly enough, three of those teams, including the Brewers, started in 1969.

Even with those struggles, the Milwaukee Brewers have had some excellent players on their roster. Which of those players make up their Mount Rushmore?
