Butch Moore: Brewer Legend Remembered

Milwaukee lost a true legend this past Saturday—Charlie “Butch” Moore, the utility player who spent fourteen seasons with the Brewers and became synonymous with the team’s identity. Drafted straight out of Alabama, he debuted in 1973, bounced between catcher and outfield, and was a key part of the iconic 1982 “Wallbangers” team that reached the World Series. His biggest moment? A game-ending throw in the 1982 ALCS Game 5 that got Reggie Jackson out at third, sending Milwaukee to the World Series. He also hit for the cycle and stole two bases in 1980—a feat not seen in nearly a century. Over his career, he played over 1,200 games for Milwaukee, was the last player driven in by Hank Aaron, and is honored in both the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and the Milwaukee Wall of Honor. The Brewers honored him with a moment of silence before Sunday’s game—a heartbreaking loss for the franchise and its fans. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
