Our All Time Top 50 Milwaukee Brewers have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Milwaukee Brewers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Brewers won the National League Central, but were bounced by the New York Mets in three games in the Wild Card round. There were two new entrants and a few notable player movements.
As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
You can find the entire list here.
Former MVP Christian Yelich advanced one spot to #6.
Pitcher Brandon Woodruff held at #20.
Infielder Willy Adames and Pitcher Devin Williams enter at #40 and #41 respectively.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Closer, Josh Hader, who was traded to San Diego during the 2022 Season, inched up one position to #27.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
33. Paul Molitor
When the Toronto Blue Jays won the 1992 World Series, their Designated Hitter was future Hall of Famer Dave Winfield. They would upgrade that for 1993 with another eventual Cooperstown resident, Paul Molitor.
Molitor had more left in the tank than Winfield did, and in his first year as a Blue Jay, he had his best season in years. Batting .332, Molitor led the American League in Hits (211), won the Silver Slugger (he had a career-high 22 Home Runs), and was second in MVP voting. The Blue Jays repeated as World Series Champions, with Molitor winning the World Series MVP from a .458/2 HR/7 RBI performance.
Toronto faltered in 1994, but Molitor did not, batting .341 with a seventh All-Star in tow. His third and final season in Toronto saw him slip to .270, but he was still one of the best Designated Hitters in the business. A native of Minnesota, Molitor opted to finish his career with the Twins, where he played for three years before retiring.
Molitor’s stay with the Blue Jays was not long, but it was impactful, with 508 Hits, a .315 Batting Average, and one incredible post-season. He entered Cooperstown as a Brewer, but he won a ring as a Blue Jay.

That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the first revision of our top 50 Milwaukee Brewers of all-time.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in their respective League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
This is the first time that we have revised this specific list, which was first put up in 2016, and there are many changes, though none that are changing the top five.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories, which has altered the rankings considerably.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
We had a debut of Christian Yelich, who despite only having completed two full seasons, won two Batting Titles, two OPS Titles and an MVP. No Brewer has ever had back-to-back years like Yelich, who arrives on this list at #11. Two-time All-Star, Corey Hart was overlooked in our original list. He now appears at #25. Current Milwaukee Centerfielder, Lorenzo Cain debuts at #37. Former 2000s infielder Bill Hall, who was previously overlooked, comes in at #49.
