Six years ago today, on May 4th, 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers named Craig Counsell the manager of the Brewers. Ron Roenicke‘s team collapsed in 2014 and struggled in the first month of 2015 and the rebuild began.
The first cornerstone of that rebuild was laid in place when Counsell was installed in the manager’s chair.
