42 free Milwaukee Brewers trivia questions with answers. The Milwaukee Brewers began life as a bankrupt Seattle expansion team, wore hand-me-down Pilots uniforms, and have spent 57 seasons chasing a World Series they have reached only once. Along the way they gave baseball Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Harvey's Wallbangers, a mascot who slides into a beer mug, a sixth-inning sausage race and Bob Uecker in the booth for 54 years. This Brewers trivia quiz covers the franchise history, the ballparks, the MVPs and Cy Young winners, the retired numbers, the mascots and traditions, and the recent run of NL Central titles under Craig Counsell and Pat Murphy. The 50 questions run from easy for anyone who has been to American Family Field to hard for fans who remember County Stadium, so it suits a tailgate, a bar quiz or a solo test. Every answer is checked against the documented record rather than fan lore.
