Starkville | Mark Attanasio on Building the Brewers, Pat Murphy Stories, and Baseball’s Future

Mark Attanasio joins Starkville! This week, Jayson and Doug welcome the Milwaukee Brewers owner to reflect on the final week of the World Series, the biggest public event in Wisconsin history, and the life changing experience of bringing baseball fans together. Mark looks back on building the Brewers from 2004 to today, including the development of the team's current roster and facilities. Plus, he shares his favorite Pat Murphy stories, including the time Murph showed up to flip pancakes at 6 a.m., and discusses why he knew Murphy could step up as manager. Finally, with another potential lockout on the horizon, Mark weighs in on the labor issues facing baseball and reflects on his own memories as a lifelong fan of the game.
