They then advanced to the playoffs where they lost to the New York Yankees. Soon, 1982 came along. That year, they led the American League in home runs and runs. They then advanced to the championship series where they beat the Angels three-two in a five game series. Those wins were very impressive. Next they moved on to the world series where they just could not beat the Cardinals at all. They were eliminated from the series. They did still win the American League Pennant in 1982 against the Angels. This win got the citizens of Milwaukee so happy, that they had a parade all across the city of Milwaukee.
