It all started on Sunday, September 26, 1982...
I was 6 months old sitting in the arms of my mother in County Stadium as the Milwaukee Brewers finished off their home schedule against the Baltimore Orioles. Weeks later, the team would make their first (yeah, I said FIRST) World Series appearance. Of course, I had no clue what was going on and I have absolutely no recollection of that day now, but something did happen that day. Something epic. I caught Brewer Fever.
Fast forward a quarter century and I've still got the fever...
I live and die with every at-bat from April's first pitch through the dog days of summer and into the title chase of October. From County Stadium to Miller Park... From Robin Yount to Billy Hall... From Harvey's Wallbangers to Ned's Nine... Through agonizing lows and exciting highs, I've always followed the Brewers.
And soon it happened...
By sheer luck, a rag-tag group of the most die-hard of Brewer fans formed meticulously through the years. And in 2006, it was finally complete. A group of five Wisconsin boys who want nothing more than to grill fine brats, drink in excess and cheer the home team on to victory from Miller Park's right field bleachers while yelling hilariously-crafted obsenities at outfielders, Cub fans and people who do the wave was born!
But it wasn't enough...
We were not content to merely sit back and enjoy the games. We knew there was a higher calling for us. And that calling is to help other Brewer fans enjoy the games as much as we do. So we formed Right Field Bleachers, a grass roots effort dedicated to our Milwaukee Brewers. Through Right Field Bleachers we will offer t-shirts, stickers and other Brewer-related gear with our own Milwaukee-themed designs. As RFB grows, we hope to organize Brewer tailgates, trips and more. The icing on the cake is that you, our fellow Brewer fans, can help us realize our ultimate dream of someday opening our own bar completely dedicated to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Check back here often and on our MySpace page. We're going to be growing quickly and we can't wait to see you in the stands. Go Crew!
