When you look at the picture on the left you'll understand that I can't take another player as Robin Yount is my all-time favorite player.

I went on my honeymoon to the US in May 1993.
Three weeks before we left Germany I heard that Yount had arthroscopic knee surgery, almost eliminating the chance that I could watch him live during our short visit to Milwaukee.
Miraculously he was in the line-up when I was at County Stadium on May 16, 1993 ... and to top it, he drove in the game's first run in a 5:3-win over Cleveland.

Milwaukee's very own, #19 Robin Yount
