- At the beginning of the 1977 season it was thought that Don Money would be the odd man out. The Brewers had signed Sal Bando to play third base and the team was trying to trade Money for a power-hitting outfielder, a second baseman, or some relief pitching. After the Brewers were unable to deal Money, he ended up being the team's starting second baseman. He also played 23 games in LF and 15 games at 3B.
- 1977 Stats: .279, 25 HR, 83 RBI in 117 games
- 1977 Highlights:
- April 23 - Tripled in two runs to lead the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the California Angels.
- June 21 - Singled twice in the same inning as the Brewers hammered the Oakland A's 12-1.
- About July 15 - Named to the AL All Star team for the third time in his career (he didn't play due to a bad back).
- July 29 - Had three hits, including a home run, in Milwaukee's 7-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
