Brewers' return to South Side rekindles memories of a once-heated rivalry

Brewers owner Mark Attanasio tried to prevent Cubs fans from taking over Miller Park this year, approving a presale of tickets to Cubs game to Wisconsin residents only.

The White Sox, on the other hand, are welcoming Brewers fans from all over the world to this weekend’s interleague series on the South Side.

A Cheesehead takeover at least would help fill Sox Park, not to mention provide a lively atmosphere for a series pitting the National League’s best team against the major leagues’ worst.

A generation of Sox fans has no idea how crazy the Sox-Brewers rivalry was before the Brewers switched from the American League to the National League in 1998.
