Ball Players Think Milwaukee Hotel Haunted

There is a story circulating that says many ball players believe that the Pfister Hotel, located in Milwaukee, is haunted. This interests me because I’ve stayed at the Pfister a few times and because the image of big, burly ball players shaking in their little beds at the sounds of goblins makes me giggle. (I’m not saying I wouldn’t do the same thing, but I’m not a big, burly ball player and it just wouldn’t be as funny if I was shaking in my little bed.)

Because the Pfister is one of the nicest hotels around, ball players from out of town often stay there. One report said that:

A player for the Dodgers has been known to sleep with a baseball bat for protection after hearing odd noises. And two pairs of Florida Marlins players reportedly demand to share a room when they’re in Milwaukee because they’re afraid of ghosts.

Brendan Ryan from the St. Louis Cardinals told one Milwaukee reporter about a weird happening in his room. He said, “It was more like a moving light that kind of passed through the room. It was very strange. The room got a little bit chillier.”

Could this be why the Brewers are doing so well right now? Because the opposing team is spooked and getting no sleep? Makes ya wonder….
