A Starting Pitcher for eight seasons for the Brewers, Mike Caldwell would have a 102-80 record for the team.  Three times, Caldwell would have over 15 Wins, one of which saw him win 22.  That year (1978), Caldwell would finish second in Cy Young voting, leading the American League in Complete Games with 23.  Notably, Caldwell helped the Brewers win the American League Pennant in 1982, and while they lost the World Series, he went 2-0 with a 2.04 ERA.
While Gorman Thomas was far from the most well rounded player in Baseball, fans of the Milwaukee Brewers knew that every time he stepped up to the plate there was a good chance he was going to take the ball deep.
A Milwaukee Brewer for five-and-a-half seasons, Carlos Gomez by far had the best moments of his career with the Wisconsin based franchise.  Gomez would be named an All-Star in both 2013 and 2014 with a pair of 150 Hit, 20 Home Run seasons, one of which saw him post a spectacular 4.6 Defensive bWAR, a season where he earned a Gold Glove and a ninth-place finish in MVP voting.  That year, he would actually lead everyone in the NL in bWAR.  As a Brewer, Gomez would also win the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award in both 2012 and 2013.
Jeff Cirillo accumulated an even 1,000 Hits as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers and went to the All-Star Game in 1997.  Three times as a Brewer, Cirillo would bat over .300 and he provided solid defense at the hot corner for Milwaukee.  In 1999, he finished third in the National League in Hits, and he was in the top ten two other times.  The Infielder would be traded to Colorado but came back for two years late in his career.
