Harvey’s Wallbangers; 1982 Milwaukee Brewers

This week we will be cekebrating the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. Going into the 1982 season, the Brewers had high hopes and and World Series aspirations, as their team of mostly homegrown talent, was showing signs of becoming an offensive juggernaut. However, a rough start to the season saw the Brew Crew sitting in sixth place in the American League East with a 23-24 record, 7 games behind the first place Tigers. General Manager Harry Dalton, would fire manager Buck Rogers, and replace him by elevating team batting coach Harvey Kuenn to the manager's helm. From day one, the talented, young team rallied around their manager and his hard hitting baseball pilosophy, earning them the team moniker Harvey's Wallbangers. The team would go on to overcome adversity and the challenges of a long season, by simply bashing their way, to the 1982 World Series. #HarveyKuenn #MilwaukeeBrewers #RobinYount #PaulMolitor #CecilCooper #BenOglive #MikeCaldwell #DonSutton #RollieFingers #StLouisCardinals #OzzieSmith #DarrellPorter #BackwardsKPod #LetsTalkBaseballPodcastNetwork #JakeRobinson
