Does time fly or what?   

Happy birthday to Gorman Thomas  who was born in South Carolina on this day in 1950.   He played his first game with the Brewers in 1973.   


It took him a few seasons to get going but he became one of the best power hitters developed by the Milwaukee Brewers' organization.


Thomas lead the league HRs in 1979 and 1982.   He was a big part of the Milwaukee teams that won the AL pennant in 1982.   


From 1978 to 1982, Thomas hit 197 HRs with 560 RBI.


He was fun to watch.
