April 8th, 1976! What a great memory... yup... skippin out of the afternoon classes, jumping on bikes, and heading over to Opening Day! The day was beautiful, too... Sunny, warm, wonderful spring day. And we opened against the Yankees! And won 5 - Zip!! It was Jeff Friedbacher and the old shack gang, together again and celebrating a Brewers' victory! Robin Yount, Sixto Lezcano, Gorman Thomas, Jim Slaton, and all those other great Brewers players. I miss that old stadium too. It was so much fun to head over to the VA and sit up there on VA Bleachers for a free game, with your radio tuned to Bob Uecker and Merle Harmon! It was cool when they would acknowledge all the fans up there on "the Hill!"
I wish the Brewers success in the coming year. In 1976, it wasn't a great ride (66-95), but we still loved our Brewers. Enjoy!
By the way, whatever happened to Bernie?
