Opening Day in Milwaukee: The Brewers’ Season-Starters, 1970-2022, presented by Matthew Prigge
Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 6:30 pm
Opening day in Milwaukee is an event like no other in baseball—all the pomp and reverence for the return of the season, with a tailgate party like only Brewers fans know how to throw. Each opener creates treasured memories, like Hank Aaron’s return to Milwaukee, Sixto Lezcano’s walk-off grand slam, the momentous opening of Miller Park, Lorenzo Cain’s game-saving grab or the debuts of a couple of kids named Yount and Molitor. Chronicling a half-century of baseball lore, this book relives 53 home openers and the traditions, oddball characters, unlikely heroes and Hall of Fame legends they featured. Join local author and historian Matthew Prigge to relive some great memories! 
Copies of Prigge's books will be available to purchase at the program. This program is sponsored by the Friends of Cudahy Library and the Suzann E. Collins Fund.
