What an infield!!!

Yount played his entire 20-year major-league career with the Brewers,debuting in 1974 as an 18-year-old shortstop. He immediately was dubbed “The Kid,” a moniker he carried throughout his career.

Yount played 2,856 games with the Brewers, batting .285 with 251 home runs and 1,406 runs batted in. He remains No. 1 on the club’s all-time list in games played, home runs, RBI, at-bats (11,008), hits (3,142), runs scored (1,632), doubles (613) and triples (126).

On Jan. 5, 1999, Yount was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
