Probably pretty safe to say that if you surveyed 100 Red Sox fans and asked them who the greatest pitcher and hitter in franchise history were, a strong majority would say Pedro Martinez and Ted Williams (OK, Stiffy would say Cy Young). But what about the other 29 teams?

Now that the season is over, let's see who folks think are the greatest hitters and pitchers in each franchise's history.

Today we nominate Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers have Hall of Famers include only Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. Hank Aaron, Rollie Fingers and Don Sutton are Hall of Famers who played for the Brewers.

Retired numbers include the above five players . . . other than Don Sutton.

Put your nominations in this thread. For all of these threads, you can nominate up to 3 Hitters and up to 3 Pitchers.

As always nominations must be in boldface in order to guarantee they get counted.

We'll leave nominations open for a day or two, see how it's going, and then set up a poll and go on to the next team.

Have at it!


EDIT: WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING FIELDING WHEN DETERMINING WHO THE BEST "HITTER" IS.


Milwaukee Brewers INCLUDES the Seattle Pilots!

I see Rip has already beaten me to this reply. But since you didn't bold them, I guess you were just kidding.
