Cecil Cooper joined the Brewers from the Boston Red Sox after the 1976 season when the Brewers traded Bernie Carbo and George Scott back to the Red Sox from whence both came for Cooper. The Brewers plugged Cooper into their starting lineup, and he produced immediately. He stayed with the Brewers through the 1987 season. By that point, the team had replaced him at first with Greg Brock and with Paul Molitor at DH once Molitor came back from an injury.
Cooper is 4th all-time in games played for Milwaukee. He hit .302 for the Brewers in his 11 seasons with the team, putting him 5th overall in Brewer history (minimum 500 PA). He's 6th in career HR, second in RBI, 15th in stolen bases (Jean Segura is only 8 behind him though), 14th in walks drawn, and 13th in SLG (minimum 500 PA).
His impact on the team was made clear by his selection as first baseman for the All-Decades teams for both the 1970s and the 1980s by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2000.
I have 162 Cecil Cooper items (counting autographs separately from unautographed cards/items if I have the unautographed version).
