It’s not every day that a baseball player gets to play for the team they watched growing up. But that’s exactly what Wisconsin-born RHP Jordan Zimmermann had the honor of doing early this season for the Brewers.
Zimmermann didn’t make the team out of training camp and was subsequently released, but ended up re-signing a minor league deal to stay with the Brewers.
