35 Years Later: Looking back at the 1987 Easter Sunday Game
The year was 1987. Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol was the number one movie in the country, everyone was singing to the tune “Walk Like An Egyptian” by The Bangles, and for the first time America saw a family of yellow cartoons appear on The Tracey Ullman Show, a short that would later become a tv series, The Simpsons.
Also, the Milwaukee Brewers were the hottest team in the league.
On April 19th,1987, 35 years ago Tuesday, Rob Deer and Dale Sveum combined for some Easter Sunday magic to keep a franchise-record win streak alive, and simultaneously etch their names in Brewers history forever.
