PHOENIX - It has been 25 years since the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series. But to Cecil Cooper and Don Money, it seems like it was just yesterday.
"It was an amazing year where everything just came together," Cooper said last week while coaching at the Brewers' fantasy camp at the team's spring training facility. "We had quite a nice run there."
Those Brewers lost the 1982 World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. The Brewers will honor their '82 team at a ceremony in August when the team plays the Cardinals at Miller Park.
Cooper and other members of that team said they never believed that their distinction of being the only Brewers' team to make it to the World Series would last for 25 years.
But the team hasn't even had a winning record since 1992.
