Baseball Hall of Famer Paul Molitor will be the featured guest at the Coach Sauer Foundation dinner at Bergamont Country Club Oct. 7.

Molitor, a seven-time all-star during a 21-year baseball career that included 14 years in Milwaukee, was the World Series Most Valuable Player while playing for the champion Toronto Blue Jays in 1993. He had a .306 career batting average, collected 3319 hits in his career and set a World Series record for most hits in a game (5) while playing for the Brewers in the 1982 World Series. The Brewers have retired his number four. Molitor put together a 39-game hitting streak, the fifth longest in modern major league history while playing for Milwaukee’s “Team Streak” in 1987.

Molitor collected his 3,000th hit while playing for his home state Minnesota Twins. Molitor played three years for the Twins before retiring in 1998. He also managed Minnesota from 2015-18 and was named the American League manager of the year in 2017.

The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. with a reception featuring silent auction items at 5:30 p.m.

Other guests for the evening include Jim Paschke, who is retiring after 35 years as the television voice of the world champion Milwaukee Bucks. Paschke was the TV voice of the Brewers in 1987 and called Juan Nieves’ no-hitter, the only no-hitter in Brewers history, and the games of Molitor’s 39-game hit streak.

The annual fund-raising dinner will also feature a silent auction. Tickets are $125 for individuals and $1,000 for a table. They are available for purchase at https://csf21.givesmart.com.
