Green Sheet

Green Sheet The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Green Sheet highlights the people, places and things that reflect t Or, to be more accurate, it was pretty easy reading green.

For more than 60 years in Milwaukee, it was pretty easy being green. For decades, the Green Sheet — which ran Monday through Saturday in the afternoon newspaper, The Milwaukee Journal — was a primary destination for readers looking for a laugh, some advice, some nostalgia, a smile. It was a shade of green — somewhere between light green and forest green, if you're a 64-Crayola-crayon-color purist

— that, to many newspaper readers, offered a break from the sobering side of the day. In 2015, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel revived the beloved section. As with the Green Sheet of old, its intent is to provide a daily respite, with words and pictures that might make you smile, and laugh, and remember.

In 1968, Milwaukee, still pining for a major-league team of its own, effectively rented one, bringing in the Chicago White Sox to play one regular-season game against each American League opponent. The results on the field weren't as good as the results at the ticket window.
