In this post I’d like to share with you some background on how I came to write my Milwaukee Brewers historical book and narrow the scope of what it’s about. I’ll also give some details about my writing process and how doing what I do helped me finish the first draft in a little over…
The week in review: Another rough week for the Milwaukee Brewers as they dropped two series – first losing to the Pirates in Pittsburgh and then the Cubs at home.
