On Easter Sunday, April 19, 1987, fans of the Texas Rangers got to watch to see if their team could give the Milwaukee Brewers their first loss of the year.

Fans of the Brewers had to listen on the radio, since in those days the Brewers never put home games on TV.

After the Brewers followed Easter ham dinners by winning their 12th consecutive game, George Webb restaurants followed three days later by giving away 168,194 hamburgers, keeping a 40-year-old promise of free hamburgers for a 12-game winning streak by the (American Association) Brewers, (National League) Braves or (American, then National League) Brewers.
