An inside look at the 1982 World Series. The record-tying 13-game winning streak to open the 1987 season. Paul Molitor's 13-game hitting streak and Robin Yount's chase for his 3,000 hit. Told by someone who was part of the behind the scenes story.
A look at the seven managers Sky worked with in 19 years - Alex Grammas, George Bamberger (twice), Bob (Buck) Rodgers, Harvey Kuenn, Rene Lachemann, Tom Trebelhorn and Phil Garner. Guess who his favorite field boss was.
The inside story on the 'Saturday Night Massacre' where the general manager, the manager and the farm director all were fired. Or the winter meetings from hell, when the Brewers pulled off their biggest trade in history.
Without a doubt the toughest chapter for me was the final one - 'Yer Out.' Allan H. (Bud) and the owners lockout cost baseball the World Series, but it cost me my job. Here is an insider's look at an emotional time in my career.

It's been 35 years since the Brewers won the American League Championship.
I was fortunate to spend 19 years as the Brewers media relations director. I worked with several Hall of Famers - including Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Hank Aaron, Rollie Fingers and Don Sutton. I also was part of some of the most exciting times in Milwaukee's baseball history.
I was there for Bambi's Bombers, Harvey's Wallbangers, Team Streak, Paul Molitor's 39-game hitting streak and Robin Yount's 3,000 hit. Relive these great times by downloading my book in a written or a new audio form or get both with a discounted price.
