Brewers Enter World Series
Brewers make it to the world series in 1982 ,and lose to the Cardinals by 1. The score ended up being 4-3 cardinals. With Brewers playing their toughest game ever their down by 1. At the time, the Brewers manager was Harvey Kuenn. The the Brewers' nick name was " The Harvey's Wallbangers". The Brewers were suffering because they lost their starting pitcher Rollie Fingers, who suffered a torn arm muscle in September. That was a big loss for the Brewers and they might of won if Rollie wasn't injured. Nobody will ever know if the Brewers would of won.Now it is 2009 and the Brewers haven't made it to the World Series ever since.

On September 5, 1972, a group of 11 Palestinian terrorists took 11 Israel athletes and coaches hostage. To of the hostages were killed right away. In the end of the 18 hour standoff, everyone left was gunned down. Everyone was terrified in the Olympics, but the show had to go on. Officials suggested that Mark Spitz should leave, because he was Jewish, and did not want anything happening to him. media type="youtube" key="5LEOyZLbKGs" height="265" width="320" By: **Corey W **
