With all due respect to the late Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, the real Mr 3000 in Milwaukee is, and always will be Robin Yount. 21 years ago today, a 16 year old kid took a break from his job as a soft pretzel vendor at County Stadium to witness Yount single off Jose Mesa for base hit #3000. With tears running down my face, I turned around to give high-fives to Tim Van Vooren and John Anderson. Still the greatest in-person moment from my life as a Brewers fan. The Braun grand slam vs Pittsburgh in Sept of 2008 is a close 2nd, but I think this will always be #1.
