After losing the 1982 World Series, Milwaukee didn't make the playoffs again for more than a quarter of a century. It was no coincidence that the team's next berth coincided with the rise of Braun.

Lon Warneke, one of the ace pitchers of the St. Louis Cardinals, began his major-league career with the Chicago Cubs in 1930, playing with them until 1936, when he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Jimmy Cullin, and Roy Parmelee. In 1933 he was the leading pitcher of the National League, winning 22 games and losing only 6, and he also led the league in the earned run department with an average of 2.37.

Lon Warneke has pitched 284 games, winning 131, losing 78, and striking out 818 batters for the average of .627.
