Bryan Edmund "Moose" Haas (born April 22, 1956 in Baltimore, Maryland), is a former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1976-1987. He appeared in the 1982 World Series as a member of the Brewers.

On April 12, 1978, Haas struck out 14 batters, breaking record for strikeouts in a single game for the Brewers. this franchise records stood for 26 years, broken by Ben Sheets.[1]

"Moose" earned his nickname after an unfortunate weekend run-in with a full-grown moose while on vacation in the Appalachian mountains. The confrontation resulted in the 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) moose felled at the hands of Mr. Haas. The head of the moose (who Mr. Haas later named "Wallace") was hung in his dining room as a memento of that infamous meeting and remains on display to this day.

On Moose's 1987 Topps Baseball Card, Moose is also a locksmith, a magician and a black belt in taekwondo.
