First Wisconsin-born Brewer

[saget]

For some reason I need to know who the first ever Wisconsin-born Brewer was. And not the Braves or Pilots or any nonsense like that.

 

I came up with the name Gene Brabender, but I'm not sure if it's right

 

Help!

He has to be the one. He was on the first Brewer team's opening day roster, and I know of no one who might have 'tied' with him for that privilege.

Yeah that's what I thought. Did he play for the Pilots first? That would disqualify him, I guess.

 

My associate is screaming that he can't be the right one.

[Fatter than Joey]

That's probably right.... Brabender

 

 

Uecker was the first Brave.

Gene Brabender is indeed correct.

[saget]

Cool. Thanks

Brabender played with the Pilots

If you need the first Brewer that debuted with the Brewers and was born in Wis. -- I would guess Augustine

[trwi7]

Brabender played with the Pilots

 

He also played with the Brewers in 1970.

Obviously. -- Saget seemed to indicate the answer could not be a former Pilot.

I think what he meant by that is they actually had to play for the Brewers. Not that they couldn't be a Pilot or Brave they just had to play for the Brewers.

Fair enough --- If that is the case Brabender is the answer, if it is a debut thing, Augustine I think would be the answer
