So the best way to be elected to the Brewer Walk of Fame is clearly to have been on the 1982 team. Teddy Higuera should make it for sure. His career was short, but he was one of the best lefties in the league until he got hurt.

If they're willing to include Braves players in the balloting, why not go back to the minor league Brewers and include Bill Veeck?

I nominate Harveys Wallbangers (and apologize as once posting as Harveys Ballwangers).

BTW, I think the Mets claiming Jackie Robinson is at least a lot easier to understand than the Brewers claiming Johnny Logan.

DA

Milwaukee's culture is to consider anyone who has played in the city as one of their own.

I would hope folks consider it quaint versus something negative.

Now that Higuera is over 50% he's bound to get in through the Veteran Brewers Committee.

So the best way to be elected to the Brewer Walk of Fame is clearly to have been on the 1982 team.

It's not working for Ben Ogilvie!

How about Bill Veeck?

Also Jack Morris got 54.6%.

I know, I know, he never played for Milwaukee but he certainly pitched in Milwaukee and, well, he's just so ... Morris-y.

No, not Morrisey. No man who has ever scuffed a ball, pushed off the rubber and worked the corners could be less Morrisey than Morris.

I'm surprised Andy Pafko did so poorly. He's a Wisconsin native, and he is on the Cubs' "Walk of Fame." Admittedly, he was never probably never a _____ of Fame player, but he gets World Series winner and Native Son credits. It's not like the Brewers have an overwhelming history of great players.

And my grandfather grew up with him. So just do it to make me feel relevant, dammit.

I'm surprised Brett Favre hasn't been elected there. He played a handful of games at County Stadium.

I was looking at names like Charlie Moore and Dale Sveum on that list and my first reaction was "where's Jim Ganter?" And then I thought to check the header for the list of those already elected.

And no love for John Anderson? He was the best player on the 1901 Brewers!

Is it me or have the Brewers had an inordinate number of great baseball names play/star for them?

Growing up, I always thought Moose Haas was the best name ever... Teddy Higuera rolls off the tongue. Ben Ogilve just sounds like a thumping OF. Sixto Lezcano would be a legendary name in any sport... the eastern European in me loves names like "Vukovich". Rollie Fingers has to be pictured with a handlebar mustache even if he had never had one. I'm very glad that Brooks Kieshnick was able to get a couple cups of coffee in Milwaukee.

What about Jack Morris?

EDIT: Dammit Walt beat me to it! And did it better.

Makes sense to me. Certainly makes more sense for the players to be honored in the city they played.

I would hope folks consider it quaint versus something negative.

Like Snapper, I consider it logical rather than quaint. I don't see any reason why former Milwaukee Braves shouldn't be celebrated by both the franchise they played for and the city they played in.

To me, the problem with the Mets isn't that they want to honor Jackie Robinson and the other Brooklyn Dodgers. It's that they seemingly ignore the history of the other NL club that played in New York.

he's just so ... Morris-y.

No, not Morrisey. No man who has ever scuffed a ball, pushed off the rubber and worked the corners could be less Morrisey than Morris.

Who is the most Morrissey pitcher?

I suppose in terms of eloquence, maybe R.A. Dickey, and in terms of brooding and pettiness, maybe Kevin Brown.

But the thing is that Jackie Robinson is Jackie Robinson and I have no idea who the #### Johnny Logan is. :-)

I struggled to recall Jose Capellan, but I think I pulled it out (without looking: righty reliever, came from Braves, was a bit of a prospect, probably threw hard). I do remember the name "Raul Casanova", if not much of anything else about him, and it's amazing he'd be on a ballot for anything. Bill Castro, don't know him either (and yet he got more votes than Richie Sexson, who was really pretty good.)

The Brewers should have just elected one per year.

That would have carried them through 2016, with no awkward skips.
And at that point, they could do one every other year, roughly.
