Inscription.
Richie Sexson. Acquired in a July 2000 trade with Cleveland, Sexson became a two-time N.L. All-Star for Milwaukee and one of baseball's premier sluggers during the 2000's. The first Brewer in franchise history to collect 100+ RBI and 150+ hits in three straight seasons, Sexson was recognized as the Brewers Player of the Year in 2001, 2002 and 2003. In 2003, Sexson ranked in the top five in the N.L. in games, plate appearances, home runs, RBI and total bases. Once held the single-season franchise record of 45 home runs after accomplishing the feat in 2001 (and then again in 2003). At the conclusion of his tenure with the Brewers, Sexson's .902 OPS was the best in club history among players with at least 2,000 plate appearances.
