What happens to Hall-of-Famers after they retire and begin their fade from baseball's limelight? They become fans, of course. Robin Yount is still a big fan of the team he spent his entire career with and he likes their chances in the NL Central this year, to boot. From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

"I think these guys honestly believe they can win this thing and I'd like to see it happen because I think they can, too," said Yount, on hand Monday at North Shore Country Club for a charity golf tournament kicking off two days of festivities to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 1982 American League championship club.
"I follow them every game I can. I'm watching on the computer or listening on the radio. Every chance I get, I'm 'there.' "

[...]

"The last time I looked, they're still in first place," Yount said. "So, what are we all freaked out about?"

Yount does make a good point. Despite all of the worrying and everything that's been made of the Cubs' charge, the Brewers still hold a 1.5 game lead on Chicago in the division. And when a man that was bold enough to wear a mustache and a mullet as proudly as Yount did says you can do something, you do it.
