History of the Brewers

By: Zander Ashley

Why did I chose this topic?
I chose this topic because of many reasons. One reason is that the
Brewers are my favorite baseball team. They are my favorite team
because they are the team from our state and I like Christian Yelich.
Another reason I picked this topic is that my dad knows a lot about the
Brewers and their history. I wanted to know more so I can talk to my
dad about it and see all of the cool stuff that he has. The last reason I
picked this topic is because I look up to the players on the team. I play
baseball and when I watch all the players it inspires me to work hard
and try my best.
When were the Brewers founded?
Baseball was invented in 1839 but the Brewers team was founded
in Seattle WA in 1969. When the team first started out they were
called the Seattle Pilots. The founder of the Pilots is Fred Danz.
Who Discovered the Brewers?
The Brewers were founded/discovered by Fred Danz. Fred Danz bought the
Seattle Pilots to move them to Milwaukee and make them become the Milwaukee
Brewers. Baseball was founded/discovered by Abner Doubleday. Abner is from
Cooperstown, New York. (I could not find where Fred Danz is from there were
many different answers.) Abner Doubleday Information

Connections to the periodic table
1. Oxygen. Oxygen is connected to baseball because the players
are running around a lot and they need a lot of oxygen to keep
themselves alive.
2. Silver and gold. I see silver and gold a lot in baseball. A lot of
the players I watch on tv wear silver and gold chains to express
themselves.
3. Carbon. I have seen carbon on people’s chains (in the diamond
form) and I have also seen it in trophies that the players have
gotten. I also can say the bats and other things they used were
made in factories by machines that were powered by one of
carbons fuels.
