Milwaukee Brewers Opening Day History

The Milwaukee Brewers Opening Day history by Baseball Almanac is a comprehensive list of each Opening Day game played by the franchise, every opponent faced, the exact date of the game played, a final score, the official decision, team splits, and box scores.

"Although baseball decided to extend the regular season deeper into October to play 162 games (after the 09-11 disaster), why not just play 154? Baseball has dealt with shortened seasons before. (Bud) Selig spoke about the sanctity of playing 162 games, but baseball played 154 games until 1961. Baseball should have just let the games go and continued with the current schedule." - Joe Morgan on ESPN (September 19, 2001)
