But enough with the introductions for now. Back to the 1965 regular season.
July 1965:
July saw the Brewers tumble back to earth a bit, as they finished the month with a 12-15 record.
There was some good news as 3 Brewers were named to the All-Star team. The aforementioned anchors of the starting rotation and bullpen- Jason Lawson and Ron Poblano- and the Brewers starting catcher and team captain, Sam Rogers. Probably a bit odd that I haven't mentioned our fearless captain up until now. But the reality is that the catcher position is a particularly weak one in the WPK and while Sam is a great leader, he is just an adequate backstop. (Spoiler: he did show signs of greater potential as the season progressed, especially with the bat.) Unfortunately, the MGL lost the AS game when the Pittsburgh Roadrunners veteran slugger, Mike Kuehn, hit a walk-off 3-run HR off our own Mr. Lawson.
