Photograph by MARK KAUFFMAN

Nowhere does baseball create more enthusiasm than in Milwaukee. Last season, after moving to town from Boston, the Braves drew 1,826,379 fans, a National League record. This year, despite slow starts by sluggers like Ed Mathews, shown in baseball's classic home plate tableau in a game against the Giants, attendance of over two million seems certain.
