Is it time for the Milwaukee Brewers to add another number to the retired jersey wall? The question came to mind while watching CC Sabathia and Dave Parker get inducted into the Brewers' Wall of Fame. But the last time the team actually retired a number was back in 2015—and it wasn't for a player. It was for Bud Selig, the Milwaukee native who brought baseball back to the city after a five-year hiatus and later served 22 years as MLB Commissioner.

To understand the conversation, let's look at the names already honored: Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, and Rollie Fingers. These are the core players from the electric 1980s teams. But here's the interesting part—only Yount spent his entire career in a Brewers uniform. Selected first overall in the 1973 draft, he was in the big leagues less than a year later. Over 20 seasons, Yount racked up over 3,000 hits, played in nearly 2,800 games, and helped lead Milwaukee to its first-ever playoff appearance. He still sits atop nearly every major career statistical category for the franchise.

That's not to take anything away from Molitor or Fingers. Molitor spent 15 seasons in Milwaukee before becoming one of the first stars to leave for a big free-agent deal. During his time, he routinely batted above .300 and led the league in multiple categories. He was the heartbeat of those teams. Fingers, meanwhile, was a Hall of Fame closer and a bit of a journeyman. Of his seven All-Star selections, two came in Milwaukee, and he was a key piece of the 1982 team that made the franchise's only World Series appearance.

So who's next? Ryan Braun is the obvious candidate. A former MVP, Rookie of the Year, and the face of the franchise for over a decade, Braun's legacy is complicated but undeniable. The Brewers haven't retired a player's number since the 1990s, and fans are eager to see if the team will honor the next generation of stars. Whether it's Braun or someone else, one thing is clear: the conversation is just getting started.
