All-Brewers Team: Utility Guys

OF – Ben Oglivie
This is a guy who really hit his stride once he came to Milwaukee. Ben kicked tires with the Red Sox and the Tigers before finally getting a chance to play everyday in Milwaukee. To say he capitalized on that opportunity, would be a gross understatement. The original “Big Ben” went crazy in County Stadium. His 41 HR outburst in 1980 got him some hardware: an All-Star appearance and the Silver Slugger Award. Ben spent 9 seasons in Milwaukee, during that time he accumulated over 1100 hits, 175 HR’s, 685 RBI’s, and a .277 BA. Lest we forget about his glove!! In his 16 year MLB career he posted a stunning .980 fielding percentage. He averaged less than 5 errors per season for his entire career.
