Happy Holidays from all of us at 620 WTMJ, your home for Brewers baseball. Dom Cotroneo cooked up his own top ten list of the best games of the 2024 season. This list is purely arbitrary and meant to give you some content to debate around the holidays for your memory bank from this season.

We go through each game with six key features: a prologue, a time capsule, the highlight recap, things you forgot, heroes of the game, and a title for the game in five words or less.

Sprinkled throughout the episode are audio calls from Bob Uecker, Jeff Levering, Lane Grindle, and Josh Maurer - the radio team of your Milwaukee Brewers. Plus exclusive interviews and highlights you can only find here on 620 WTMJ.

And a long-winded discussion on what's going on in Los Angeles with deferred payments. A salary cap? A salary floor? Who's to say what the future holds, but for now, Dom believes the Brewers are still the favorites in the division heading into the Winter Meetings.
