1957

I was living in Milwaukee in 1957 but I was 2 years old so that's my excuse for not remembering this:

The first World Series played in Milwaukee - 7 games and the good guys won !!  

I had seen Tony Kubek on all those NBC MLB games on TV and knew he was a Yankee - he often mentioned Stengel, Berra, Mantle and so on.  But I didn't know he was from Milwaukee.  He's still alive and living in Appleton, Wisconsin.

The Yankees and the Braves played another 7 game series in 1958 as well but the bad guys won that one:

I've blogged on the Braves before:

but by the time I was old enough to be a fan the Braves were headed for Atlanta - they weren't all that good at the end in Milwaukee.
