You may think you know the story of the 1982 team, but you may have never heard it quite like this. Excitement is growing for Wednesday night's premiere, as several former players will be back in Milwaukee to watch it on the big screen, including former Brewers pitchers Moose and Jim Slaton.

Both were a part of the 1982 trip to the World Series, and say the movie is a journey of highs and lows, all from the players' point of view.

"It's always exciting," says Slaton. "I mean, coming back here to Milwaukee, everything has been first class and we're really excited to see the film."

Director Sean Hanish says he's excited to share the film and is thankful to everyone who has already made the premiere a sold out experience.
