Sega's World Series Baseball and 1994 Topps

  The top hurler for the Crew in 72 was Jim Lonborg. Acquired in the trade with the Red Sox that also brought 72's top hitter in George Scott. Lonborg stayed in brew town only one year. He led the team in Shutouts, Innings, Hits, batters faced, walks, strikeouts, Sac Hits and wins. Ironically 1972 was the 3rd straight year where no Brewers hurler won more than 14 games. Tough times indeed, but considering the poor records it's still impressive that the starters were able to win that many games. After completing his 15 year major league career, Lonborg returned to school at Tufts University and became a dentist. A nice trivia nugget is that in the Boston based sitcom Cheers, Former Red Sox pitcher and bar owner Sam Malone, the picture that hangs in the bar is that of Lonborg. Malone, played by Ted Danson, wore the same number for the Sox as Lonborg. After the 72 season he was traded to the Phillies. The Brewers recieved in return Don Money.

"Black Beauty helped him win 8 gold glove awards at first base. Ironically when the Brewers traded him back to the Red Sox in the late 70's it brought to them another first basemen who is synonymous with Brewers baseball. Cecil Cooper, and one who would hold down the position until the late 80's. According to an account from former Brewers Owner and Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, Scott was the first Brewers player to earn $100,000, which he achieved in 197
