Milwaukee Brewers Managers & Finishes



On April 23, 1978, George Bamberger was quoted in the Dallas Times-Herald as saying, "Times are different. The kids today... well, you can't yell at them. When I was a kid, they yelled at me and I accepted it. Today they go into a shell if you do that and so you have to do a lot more talking to them."

On April 7, 1970, the Milwaukee Brewers played their first game ever. Do you remember who the starting lineup was that historic day? Find this and other trivia based questions in our forums or by clicking the date which will bring up the box score from the game.

In 1981, Rollie Fingers became the first Milwaukee Brewers pitcher to win a Cy Young Award. He was also their first player to win the Most Valuable Player Award that same season. Do you remember who managed the Seattle Pilots — the Milwaukee Brewers first offical name?
