This was the team that won the first American Association championship for Milwaukee.
Woozey was a gift from the Milwaukee Journal. He served as the unofficial groundskeeper when the Brewers were on the road. Also, he was kept in a pen above the press box which apparently caused quite a stench.
Great piece!
If you ever decide to part with it , keep me in mind.
