Milwaukee Brewers' storied history in home runs shapes a debate on their all-time greatest sluggers. MLB analyst Joel Reuter's picks—Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Gorman Thomas, and Jeromy Burnitz—highlight Braun's 352 home runs and Fielder's record-setting 50 home runs in a single season. This list is both a celebration of past achievements and a point of contention among fans.

By the Numbers
  • Ryan Braun: 352 home runs
  • Prince Fielder: 230 home runs in seven seasons
Yes, But

While Reuter's selections are solid, other players like Christian Yelich, Ben Oglivie, and Cecil Cooper also have strong cases. Yelich's recent struggles have dimmed his previous shine, but a return to form could change his status. Oglivie and Cooper's contributions, though significant, didn't earn them a spot this time around.

State of Play
  • Ryan Braun leads the franchise in home runs.
  • Gorman Thomas and Jeromy Burnitz complete the list, based on consistent high performance during their tenures.
What's Next

Future potentials like Christian Yelich, if he regains his power-hitting form, could redefine this list. Monitoring emerging talents and their performance trends will be key for any revisions to Milwaukee’s home run royalty.

Bottom Line

The Brewers’ Mount Rushmore of home run hitters, as identified by Reuter, underscores historical performance and opens a debate on who might join these ranks with future achievements.
