Wong has found out just how deep the Brewers are

Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong acknowledges fans at Busch Stadium who give him a standing ovation in his first at-bat as an opponent of the Cardinals, on April 8. He says he will be more relaxed this week when he makes a return appearance.

Kolten Wong has been on playoff teams and contenders before. Five times in his eight seasons with the Cardinals, the second baseman was in postseason play and had one World Series appearance and four division titles among them.

But he admits he never has seen anything like his Milwaukee Brewers team forced by injuries and COVID-19 to employ a club-record 60 players, including 27 relievers, this year.
