Sports in Milwaukee (Paperback, UK ed.)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to a variety of sports teams and events. Throughout the sports world, Milwaukee is perhaps best known for its tradition of tailgating before Brewers baseball games. The Brewers made their first post-season appearance in 1981 and won the American League pennant in 1982. In 1998, they became the only Major League team in history to switch leagues, doing so to accommodate the expansion franchises of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. They also have the distinction of being the only team to have played in four of the six current Major League divisions.
