Lemonade. That is my reason – I know nothing about his career, except that it was clearly good enough to get the man his own lemonade. It is called Robinade, and it is good. Shoutout lemonade.

LISA BAKER, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
Both a Kansas City Royal and a Milwaukee Brewer!
Tell us who you’d pick to be a Betty this year!
3. Joey Wiemer
SOPHIE YUFA, JUNIOR DESIGNER
I cannot name a single player off the top of my head, but the blonde mullet guy from the current team is for sure my favorite.
*Note from Chris Drosner: This is Joey Wiemer! But I have some 2024 bad news for you regarding his mullet…

I was a fangirl when I was 8. He didn’t do anything but crack home runs. (He played a position but don’t ask me what. I don’t remember.) And he would have slumps so he wasn’t consistent at the plate. We always prayed for those homers. I think he was an outfielder.
5. Prince Fielder
CHRIS DROSNER, EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Apologies to Yount, Molitor, Cooper and the stars of my childhood, but my favorite Brewer is Prince Fielder, the team’s most feared slugger during the Brewers’ rise back to prominence in the late ’00s. He had the charisma that made me wonder why he wasn’t more beloved among our fans – energy on the field, an intriguing backstory, a great smile and the best inside-the-park home run in major league history.
6. Rickie Weeks
BRIANNA SCHUBERT, ASSOCIATE DIGITAL EDITOR
Ricky Weeks, because I loved the way the announcer said “Rickieeeeee WEEKS!”
7. Lorenzo Cain
EVAN MUSIL, ARTS & CULTURE EDITOR
My answer more so has to do with me being a lifelong Royals fan. Lorenzo Cain was a core part of our 2015 World Series-winning team: a charming, humble player who could chase down a ball from anywhere in the outfield and had a solid, underrated bat. (Don’t forget he placed third in the 2015 MVP race!) When Cain joined the Brewers and contributed to the 2018 NLCS run, I was rooting for him and the rest of the team. Before I had any connection to Milwaukee, I always appreciated how the fanbase celebrated him, and how the team waited until he qualified for the players’ pension fund to release him. That makes it easy for me to cheer on the Brew Crew.
