30 Teams | 30 Weeks: #24 Milwaukee Brewers
The seventh team in the Topps 30 Teams | 30 Weeks countdown is the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Brewers spent the first part of their existence in the American League, winning an AL Pennant in 1982. In 1998 the Brewers switched to the National League where they’ve been ever since. Our Legendary Lineup is full of 80s players like Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, Robin Yount, and others.
But there are also some more modern-day players like Ryan Braun and Corey Hart on the list. Both Braun and Hart played on some good Brewers teams, especially the 2011 team who won the most games in Brewers history.

Corey Hart??!! How in the world do you take him over Geoff Jenkins?
It’s a worthy argument for sure! We leaned on Hart’s two All-Star appearances to Jenkins’ one, Hart’s two 20/20 seasons, and his key role on the 2011 team that won more games than any in Brewers history. But Jenkins’ HR and RBI totals are definitely higher. Plus, Jenkins was mostly a left fielder and Hart was a right fielder. Jenkins wasn’t better than Ryan Braun, who is our left fielder. It was a tough choice!
