A man from Croatia recently sent out emails to all 30 MLB teams asking why he should be a fan of their organization. In all eight teams have responded. The Brewers were the latest to give their reasons and here is what they wrote.
"Hi (sesve),
Thanks for reaching out! The list of reasons for becoming a Brewers fan is endless, but here are a few:
- Our rich history - The Brewers are deeply rooted in MLB history. From being home to legendary baseball announcer Bob Uecker, to having Hall of Famers such as Hank Aaron and Robin Yount don our uniform, the Brewers are well established in baseball history.
- Community involvement - You can always find Brewers players, management and staff helping out around the Milwaukee community. Whether it’s assisting in a food drive for Thanksgiving meals, or bringing winter to clothes to families in need, the Brewers are a staple in the Milwaukee community.
- Our future - The Brewers are a young team with a bright future. Our farm system, which was regarded by national media as being short on prospects as recently as 2014, was recently ranked as the best in all of baseball by Jim Callis, former executive editor of Baseball America and current draft analyst for MLB.com. You will definitely want to be a part of what’s to come.
We hope this helps your decision, and go Brewers!"
