This is a deluxe coffee table size book every Brewers fan must have. It also includes introductions from former Owner and Commissioner of Baseball Allan H. (Bud) Selig and current Chairman and Principal Owner Mark Attanasio. The foreword is written by Hall of Famer Robin Yount. A New Berlin native, McCalvy graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a journalism degree and interned in the Brewers’ Media Relations Department before working for MLB.com since the online service’s inception in 2001.
