A Brewer Named “Brewer” ∞

It’s a little on the nose.

Long time readers may recall my love of amusing baseball names, particular the fish-related names of Angels outfielders. So naturally, I’m delighted to tell you about a new Milwaukee Brewer named “Brewer”. This past weekend, the Brew Crew called up minor leaguer Brewer Hicklen to make his club debut. It is perhaps not surprising that this has never happened before.

“Brewer” is actually Hicklen’s middle name, but it’s still a delight.
