Brewers on Sunday Night Baseball

[A Swing and A Drive]

The Brewers host the Chicago White Sox on Sunday night baseball at Am Fam Field on ESPN Sunday night baseball tonight as they go for the sweep against the AL Central Leaders.

 

It seems to me that this is a very rare thing for a Brewers club since they opened Miller Park in 2001.

 

How many times have the Brewers played on the nationally televised Sunday Night game in the past 20 years?

 

How many times have they actually hosted a Sunday night game at Miller Park/Am Fam Field?

 

I realize that as a small market team we get few Sunday night game opportunities but still...

Frankly, since Miller Park opened, the Brewers have been good for about six of those twenty years which is why they haven’t been featured much.

 

That being said, I believe they’ve been on each of the last two years at Wrigley Field

Packers 1st round pick Eric Stokes will throw out the first pitch.

I can actually watch it without stealing it. Yay!

I think they said on the broadcast last night this is the first Sunday Night game at home since 2013.

Last time they hosted on Sunday night baseball was indeed 2013 on Sept 23 vs Cardinals. They won 6-4

 

Here's the box score:

A young Wily Peralta with the win and Jim Henderson with the save. lol

 

Don't remember any other times between 2001-2012 but I'd be surprised if there were not maybe one or two more, perhaps vs. the Cubs.

I was hoping for Giannis but he’s at Disney World today.
