Gorman Thomas averaged just 100 games per season during his 11 years in Milwaukee, yet…the wonderfully fu manchu’d outfielder is one of the more popular players in Brewers history.
And in 2016…everything is coming up Gorman.
First, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Class-A affiliate of the Brewers, added not one, but two new signature sandwiches to their concession stand…the Stormin’ Gorman Cuban and the Stormin’ Triple Oinker.
According to the team, the Stormin’ Gorman Cuban is pulled pork, smoked ham and pickles slathered in Gorman Thomas Stormin’ Sauce pressed in a hoagie. The other sandwich, the Stormin’ Triple Oinker, is made with a grilled pork chop, pulled pork, apple smoked bacon, nacho cheese, and Gorman Thomas Stormin’ Sauce.
Hold on. There’s a thing called Gorman Thomas Stormin’ Sauce? I’m not sure if that is the most exciting thing I’ve read/written all day…or the grossest.
Next, the Brewers will be honoring Thomas during its annual “Star Wars” night. That’s right, the team will be giving out bobbleheads of the slugger dressed up as, get this, a Stormtrooper.
I’m not sure why exactly…but I’ve never wanted a bobblehead more.
That is, of course, until a month later when the Brewers are giving away bobbleheads of four different players dressed as Ghostbusters.
