Kurt Bevacqua - Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers

The following Spring, Bevacqua was acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers as insurance for Don Money at third base, as Money had been experiencing chronic arm problems. Though Money is a third baseman, the highlight of Bevacqua's season came while playing second. During a 4-0 loss to his former team on May 11, 1975, Bevacqua got into an altercation with George Brett at second base causing both benches to clear.

His other most memorable moment with the Brewers had even less to do with baseball. He is the 1975 Joe Garagiola/Bazooka Bubble gum blowing Champion. Topps baseball card #564 in the 1976 set attests to this feat. He remained with the Brewers through May of the 1976 season.
