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.

Matthew J. Prigge is a librarian and freelance writer from Milwaukee. He is a regular contributor to Milwaukee Magazine. This is his fifth book.
