    I did an audit, went back through each of the previous 50 state LIFs and found that this is the SIXTEENTH edition!!!

    Big thanks to @ubenumber2 for running part 15.

    This editions winner will get a lovely sampling of some Wisconsin only New Glarus brews.

    Please only participate in this LIF if you can start your own LIF. Your LIF can be whatever type of competition you want it to be, the only rule you have to follow is players from your state and previous winner’s states are not eligible for the contest.

    States NOT eligible are:
    NY, IL, MI, CA, MN, PA, OH, CT, WA, TX, MA, NC, RI, AR, and WI

    Others have limited this to the lower 48 States - I would like to open it to Alaska and Hawaii if a winner from that state is willing to split shipping costs with me.

    Unlike some of the past editions, this LIF is going to come with some education. As a die hard Milwaukee Brewers fan, I believe it is my responsibility to help you all delve into the history of the current best team in the National League. After this LIF, you will all be able to share your new found wealth of knowledge of the Brewers over some nice beers with friends while watching them play in the World Series. The majority of this LIF is very easy... Google is your friend, with one question that is going to be a guess but is easy to filter by using your great Interweb skillz. First person to submit a full list of correct answers is the winner. I do not believe many hints will be necessary. I'll do my best to stop this as soon as a complete list of correct answers is submitted.

    Without further adieu here we go...

    1. Who is the Brewer’s official mascot?

    2. What was the original [answer to #1]’s real name?

    3. He became famous when he climbed to the top of the County Stadium scoreboard and vowed to not come down until a game attendance reached 40k – when did he come down?

    Aside from this mascot the Brewers are also famous for the 5 Klements Racing Sausages that race from 3rd base to 1st around the outside of the infield during home games

    4. Name the 5 sausages – not the types… their actual names

    5. When during the game does the race happen?

    6. What asshole hit the Italian with a bat in 2010?

    “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is a famous song played throughout baseball stadiums during the 7th inning stretch. The Brewers do something unique though…

    7. What song immediately follows “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at all Brewer’s home games?

    In 1987 the Brewers started the season 13-0

    8. What nickname did that streak get that year’s team?

    That winning streak fulfilled a prediction/challenge from a local restaurant chain that stood since the 1940s…

    9. What is the restaurant chain?

    10. What was the payout?

    11. How many did they give away?

    Prior to my child’s birth I held season tickets at Miller Park in the front row of the Loge Outfield on the right field side.

    12. What section were my seats in?


    13. Who is the only player to throw a no hitter at Miller Park


    14. Who was his opponent?


    15. Why were they here?

    woo-sah my friend... give @Dave_Treat some time. That dude sends out beer like one of those giant hot dogs in the mall hands out coupons. I have a feeling a post of his received beers will post shortly and 17 will be up soon.
