Easter Sunday 1987

The Brewers went to 12-0 with a five run bottom of the ninth inning to beat Texas 6-4 on Easter Sunday in 1987. Brewer Classics played that game last night on Fox Sports North.

Things that struck me as I caught the end of the game:

The Brewers did not televise the game. It was the Ranger television broadcast.

There was Mitch Williams before he really became MITCH WILLIAMS: A dominant 1-2-3 eighth inning followed by a lead-off walk and a seeing-eye single to start the bottom of the ninth. He did get one out, but was taken out so he didn't have to face right hander Rob Deer.

After the Deer homer to tie the game, County Stadium was ROCKIN'! so much that the centerfield camera couldn't stay steady.

Texas manager Bobby Valentine had the same mannerisms then as he does now.

The bubbler in the visitor dugout looked worse than some I've seen in a municipal park.

Some guys in the bleachers really shouldn't take their shirts off, especially just twelve games into the season.

Cecil Cooper and Jim Ganter both were wearing the same style of glasse. Cooper made them look good. Ganter....not so much.

Anyone know how to put some of this stuff on youtube?
