The 1884 Milwaukee Brewers were an American professional baseball team that served as a replacement team late in the Union Association (UA) season of 1884.[1] Called the Cream Citys[lower-alpha 1] by both local newspapers, and appearing in some sources as the Milwaukee Grays,[2][lower-alpha 2] they had a record of 8–4.[3]

The minor-league Milwaukee Brewers came to the UA from the Northwestern League, as did the St. Paul Saints, and were managed by Tom Loftus. They played their home games at the Wright Street Grounds. The Brewers joined the new Western League for the 1885 season before folding and being replaced by a different Milwaukee Brewers team that played the following year in the Northwestern League.
