Moose Haas

Who is Moose Haas?

Bryan Edmund "Moose" Haas, is a former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1976-1987. He appeared in the 1982 World Series as a member of the Brewers.

On April 12, 1978, Haas struck out 14 batters, breaking record for strikeouts in a single game for the Brewers. This franchise record stood for 26 years, broken by Ben Sheets.

"Moose" earned his nickname after an unfortunate weekend run-in with a full-grown moose while on vacation in the Appalachian mountains. The confrontation resulted in the 12-foot-tall moose felled at the hands of Mr. Haas. The head of the moose was hung in his dining room as a memento of that infamous meeting and remains on display to this day.

Moose's 1987 Topps Baseball Card states that he is also a locksmith, a magician and a black belt in taekwondo.
