Center GV 863 .W62 M5 2007 DVD
New Book Island, 2nd floor
With the All-Star break upon us, and Wednesday night void of games, how are you going to cure your need for baseball? You can watch Harvey’s Wallbangers! That’s right – the often-advertised look at the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers is now ready for circulation. If you’re as excited about this season as I am, you’ll want to learn more about the history of baseball in Milwaukee.
A 2-DVD set, Harvey’s Wallbangers, introduces the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers and how these “colorful cast of characters” got to the World Series. See then and now interviews with former players such as Robin Yount, Jim Gantner, and Gorman Thomas. Listen as Bob Uecker narrates a story that starts with the 1978 Brewers and follows the ups and downs of a team that would eventually compete in the World Series. Complete with on-the-field and off-the-field clips, check this item out and travel back in time to the days when everyone kind of looked like Turnbow and Bratwurst was something you ate at a game, not cheered for.
