This gives you some idea of what I'm up against with a stingy owner. As you can see, the Brewers had the best attendance in 1965 and we are well ahead of everyone else again in 1966. Our fan interest is decent, even if not near the top and our fan loyalty is solid as well. We are considered a big market (along with Brooklyn, and just below Detroit with very big) club. And yet, as you can plainly see, we have the lowest budget in the league and are the only team operating with a payroll deficit. (Which is not to say revenue deficit. As previously mentioned, we make our owner plenty of money.)
