The Jacksonville Suns were a Brewers Milb Affiliate in 1970. The reason I have this hat is not because I am hard core enough to pick up a one-time affiliate's hat during the Brewers inaugural year, but rather because I love minor league hats and stadiums. Two days after our wedding in Savannah, we drove down to St. Augustine to relax for a few days. On the way we stopped in Jacksonville and I wanted to see the Suns stadium, as I especially love the stadiums of the Southern League. We knocked on the door of a closed stadium and an extremely friendly staff let us in showed us around, talked baseball, and I purchased this hat. What a great facility! Coincidentally, almost exactly 9 month from this wonderful day we welcomed a new addition to our family, our son George.
With the Brewers off 4 of the next 12 days, there will be a fair amount of minor league hats coming up.
