Team History

[Center field]

I can help fill in some of the blank spots on the Brewers affiliate and broadcast history page.

 

1969 -The Pilots rookie level team was the Billings Mustangs Pioneer League.

 

1970-The Brewers AA team was the Jacksonville Suns Southern League.

 

1971,72,73-The Brewers AAA team was the Evansville (Ind)Triplets American Assoc.

 

Brewers TV anouncers:

1970 Dan O'Neill Merle Harmon Tom Collins

The Brewers braodcast 29 games during their inaugural season the first I believe was May 22 against the Royals.

 

1971 Merle Harmon Jim Irwin Tom Collins

 

1972 Merle Harmon Tom Collins Bob Uecker

 

1973 Tom Collins Johnny Logan Eddie Doucette

 

1974 Tom Collins Eddie Doucette

 

1975 Jim Irwin Gary Bender

 

1976 Ray Scott Merle Harmon Bob Uecker

 

1977 Ray Scott Merle Harmon Bob Uecker

 

1978 Mike Hegan Merle Harmon Bob Uecker

 

1979 Mike Hegan Merle Harmon Bob Uecker

 

1980 Mike Hegan Lorn Brown Bob Uecker

 

1981 Steve Shannon Kent Derdivanis

 

1982-86 Mike Hegan Steve Shannon

 

My source for the TV broadcast teams was True Brew A Quarter Century With The Milwaukee Brewers by Chuck Carlson. The only thing missing on the radio side was Eddie Doucette in 1970.

The 1969 media guide for the Pilots listed five TV stations but I haven't found anything yet on a broadcast team.

Thanks a ton for researching all that! I'll add the information to the team history pages when I get a chance.
