Geocache Description:


50 Years ago on October 10, 1957 the Milwaukee Braves won the world series. But as time has past how well to we remember the team that won the only World Series in Milwaukee baseball history? I know I don't, it was before I was born.

First please do not attempt to park or cache at the provided coordinates as it is the middle of a freeway near the caches location. Please solve the puzzle first and come looking after solving it.

What you will need to is the uniform number of various players from that team and a little bit of math skills (or a calculator). Answers will be 1, 2 & 3 digit numbers

The cache is located at:
N A 0B.C
W D 0E.0FG

0=the number 0

A=EDDIE MATHEWS + BOB HAZLE's lower uniform number that year - BOB BUHL
B=DEL CRANDALL + DEL RICE
C=(WARREN SPAHN x JOHNNY LOGAN)+ (BOB TROWBRIDGE x 6) + BOB BUHL
D=HANK AARON x 2
E=RED SCHOENDIENST - 1
F=JOE ADCOCK
G=DEL CRANDALL

Have Fun and please give me your thoughts as this is the first cache I am placing. And please bring your own pencil or pen
