Robin Yount, a member of the Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor and the Baseball Hall of Fame, had over 12,000 plate appearances and won two AL MVP Awards (1982 & 1989) from 1974 to 1993.[1]

The Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor is an exhibit located at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that commemorates baseball players, coaches, executives, and broadcasters who have made significant contributions to the Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball team and meet set criteria regarding career milestones or service time. The team was established in Seattle, Washington, as the Seattle Pilots in 1969,[2] and they became the Milwaukee Brewers after relocating to Wisconsin in 1970.[3] The franchise played in the American League (AL) until 1998 when it moved to the National League (NL) in conjunction with a major league realignment.[4]

Established by the Brewers in 2014, the initial Wall of Fame class consisted of 58 inductees. As of 2022, seventy-one individuals have been inducted. Each member is honored with a bronze plaque bearing their image and a summary of their Brewers career, which is affixed to an exterior wall by the Hot Corner entrance in left field.[5][6]

Criteria

[edit]

Unlike the American Family Field Walk of Fame exhibit, which selects individuals from both the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Braves through a vote by Wisconsin media members and Brewers executives,[7] only retired Brewers who met at least one of nine criteria while with Milwaukee are inducted to the Wall of Honor.[8] The original class of 58 inductees were added based on seven conditions.[9] Two additional criteria were added in 2015 and 2018.[8][10] These nine conditions are:[8]
