Brewers Classics On TV

by battlekow on Dec 9, 2006 11:38 AM CST in Milwaukee Brewers News

This was published a couple days ago, but how the hell are you supposed to find it if you don't get the physical paper and they don't link to it from the Brewers' section of the JS website? Anyway:

Fox Sports Net cable has collected 17 Milwaukee Brewers telecasts from the team's past and will begin airing them regularly in prime time starting next Friday.

Brian Peterson, a spokesman for FSN North, said the games were chosen by FSN and the Brewers.

Brewers TV game analyst Bill Schroeder will serve as host.

Games from as far back as 1975 and as late as last season are on the list.

Check out the link for a full schedule of games. I think this is a great idea, though I may be the only person tuning in. For instance, I doubt many people would rather watch an old Brewer game than the Oklahoma-Boise State Fiesta Bowl at 7:30 on New Year's Day, but I might--especially if that old Brewer game is, say, Ben Sheets' 18-strikeout masterpiece.

i think this is an excellent idea. pretty good selection of games, for the most part.

Agreed

Especially for those of us who are comparatively new to the Brewers, it'd be nice to see some of the older games, like Sveum's home run on Easter.

No 2002 All-Star Game?

They're going to show the 1975 All-Star Game at County Stadium. Why not the Miller Park version? I suppose the final score could have something to do with it.

I think

This is a great idea. Pretty amazing that I've seen all the games they are featuring post-1990 (that Toronto shellacking was wonderful).

And unless the authorities say otherwise, ESPN Classic does not air old MLB games anymore ... I have not seen one listed on that network for over a year.

Nate - I'm so rad!
