The Brewers' farm system consisted of six minor league affiliates in 2006. [5]
The 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks looked to improve on their 84–78 record from 2003. The D-backs hoped to contend for a postseason berth in what was a weaker National League West than in years past. However, just three years after winning a World Series title, the Diamondbacks instead finished the season with a record of 51–111, the worst record by any National League team since the 1965 Mets won one fewer game. The one highlight of a disastrous season was when Randy Johnson pitched a perfect game on May 18, 2004. The franchise record would not be threatened until 2021, when they finished 52–110. Despite the 110-loss season in 2021, the Diamondbacks didn't earn the first overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, as the Baltimore Orioles finished with a 52–110 record, but were worse due to records against American League opponents.
The Texas Rangers finished the 2006 season, third in the American League West. They had two players feature in the 2006 All-Star Game: Michael Young who in his 3rd appearance was named the All Star Game's Most Valuable Player; and Gary Matthews Jr. making his first appearance.
The 1972 California Angels season involved the Angels finishing fifth in the American League West with a record of 75 wins and 80 losses.
The 1971 Kansas City Royals season was their third in Major League Baseball. The Royals had the first winning season (85–76) in franchise history, good enough for second place in the American League West and 16 games behind the Oakland Athletics. Kansas City earning a winning record in its third season was the second fastest of any expansion club in Major League Baseball history up to that point, the 1962 Los Angeles Angels achieved a winning record in their second season. The record would stand until the 1999 Arizona Diamondbacks won the National League West title in their second season.
The 2002 Cincinnati Reds season was the 133rd season for the franchise in Major League Baseball. It consisted of the Reds finishing with a 78-84 record to finish in third place in the National League Central, 19 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds were managed by Bob Boone. The 2002 Reds season was their final one in Cinergy Field.
The 2005 Milwaukee Brewers season was the 36th season for the Brewers in Milwaukee. They finished third in the National League Central. This was the Brewers’ first non-losing season since 1992.
The Milwaukee Brewers' 2004 season involved the Brewers' finishing sixth in the National League Central with a record of 67 wins and 94 losses. The main highlight of the Brewers season was on the big screen, as the franchise was portrayed fictionally in the sports comedy Mr. 3000, starting Bernie Mac.
The Milwaukee Brewers' 2003 season involved the Brewers' finishing sixth in the National League Central with a record of 68 wins and 94 losses.
The 1997 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers finishing third in the American League Central, eight games behind the Cleveland Indians, with a record of 78 wins and 83 losses. 1997 was the Brewers' final season in the American League, before moving to the National League for the following season.
The 1996 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers finishing third in the American League Central with a record of 80 wins and 82 losses.
In the 1992 Milwaukee Brewers season, the team finished in second place in the American League East with a record of 92 wins and 70 losses.
The Milwaukee Brewers' 1995 season involved the Brewers' finishing fourth in the American League Central with a record of 65 wins and 79 losses. The 1995 Brewers were the last Major League Baseball team to use a bullpen car, until the 2018 Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Milwaukee Brewers' 1994 season involved the Brewers' finishing fifth in the American League Central with a record of 53 wins and 62 losses.
The 1991 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing fourth in the American League East with a record of 83 wins and 79 losses, after having had a record of 43–60 on August 3
The 1979 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing second in the American League East with a record of 95 wins and 66 losses. They scored at least one run in each of their first 160 games of the season, and were shutout only in the 161st game which was to be their last game of the season.
The 1976 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing sixth in the American League East with 66 wins and 95 losses.. It was the seventh consecutive losing season in Milwaukee and the eighth overall for the franchise since its inception.
The 1975 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing fifth in the American League East with a record of 68 wins and 94 losses.
The 1974 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing fifth in the American League East with a record of 76 wins and 86 losses.
The 1973 Milwaukee Brewers season involved the Brewers' finishing fifth in the American League East with a record of 74 wins and 88 losses.
The 2008 Milwaukee Brewers season opened with optimism as the team attempted to build on the success of the 2007 season – their first winning season since 1992.
