How do you find info on the 1950 Milwaukee Brewers minor league team?
If you are looking for player information you might try the website 'minorleaguebaseball.com' although I would doubt they would have much information if any at all. The Brewers were affliated with the Boston Braves in 1950. Maybe you could try contacting the Atlanta Braves to see if they might have some information. I have included a link on this page, 'Milwaukee Brewers Minor League History' that you can click to read a short history about them and see their year to year records and affliations.

A walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game. It must be the run that gives the home team the lead in the final inning of the game.
Addition:
It is named such because after it is hit the defending team literally walks off the field as the game is over. This is a recent term in baseball, however, has caught on well with people around the game and fans. Maybe other then a marvelous defensive play it is the most dramatic way to end a baseball game

If a batter is walked my he advance to another base or does he have to stop at first?
The batter may advance to 2nd but must go to 2nd after rounding 1st unless an attempt is made to get a runner out. An attempt may just be a ball raised to throwing position. By the look back rule, the runner may not stop or reverse along the way while being observed by the pitcher. The finer points of this rule are often misinterpreted by officials.
To clarify this answer, do not interpret it as meaning the batter, in any case may go to 2nd base without first touching first. No batter or base runner may advance to any base without first touching the previous base in any situation.
