Mark Attanasio

I mean, when you think about- How they brought him in here, I, I think, I don't know, I mean, we talked about it last night on the show, how impressive...

And Mark Attanasio needs some credit here.

He does-

Yes

... waylay most organizations.

And so for them to be strong enough and to have a strong enough foundation to weather those losses, to replace them with people who, thank God, have, have been there and who have embodied it, I, I, I think the knowledge that Mark Attanasio has about this organization and where it's at, to recognize that he didn't need to go on external searches, that Matt Arnold was going to be a worthwhile replacement, that Pat Murphy was going to be a worthwhile replacement.

But it turns out that even they have improved at their crafts.

Um, I, I always ...

Um, I don't know if the Brewers are gonna have the funds to do so, and I, I don't usually advocate for players to do this, 'cause I always want them to get the most money that they're possibly worth, but this feels like a situation, at least to me, uh, where he could take a little bit less to return to Milwaukee, 'cause he just, he is a huge part of what they do.

Big shout-out to what they do, and big shout-out to Mark Attanasio, Brown University class of '79.

I see you.

Uh, let's-

I'm happy for him.

He's always treated me really well.

Um, his son Mike has always treated me really well too, which is, um, yeah, it's, it's, it's crazy that we are here talking about the Milwaukee Brewers as going, as a team going to the World Series, that Mark Attanasio could end up being the commissioner of baseball.

It's the most unlikely story, uh, at least not entering this postseason, but entering the season than I think anybody could have filed or called.

You can stand them up at the gates of hell, but the Crew won't back-" ...

Mark in Franklin, you're on with Kyle and Brust across ESPN Wisconsin.

It's 800-990-3776, the Carbless Talk and Text Line.

What did this mean to you? Mark in Franklin.

We're, yeah, we're gonna be singing We Are the Champions.

Hell yeah.

You, you think Yuke's gonna spook them with a patch on their jersey?

No, but I'm just saying, you know what's gon- you know how they're gonna feel in that locker room.

...

the connection." He said, "Mark Attanasio and I are best friends, and have been for a really long time." So Jim Gray, so I brought Jim Gray.

He was super reluctant.

He said, "This isn't my moment." "No," and I said, "I get it, but I want you to share some of the Attanasio joy.

That's a one-two punch that would waylay most organizations.

And so for them to be strong enough and to have a strong enough foundation to weather those losses, to replace them with people who, thank God, have, have been there and who have embodied it, I, I, I think the knowledge that Mark Attanasio has about this organization and where it's at, to recognize that he didn't need to go on external searches, that Matt Arnold was going to be a worthwhile replacement, that Pat Murphy was going to be a worthwhile replacement.

Does he deserve as much as Murph?

Yes, as does Mark Attanasio, as does David Stern's, you know, when he was here.

But like, obviously the team's even, you know, as does Craig Counsell, like, all these guys have been part of it.

But what this version has done is incredible.

Enjoy it.

Good hoist.

On a magical night in Los Angeles.
