Selig to get a statue at Miller Park
The Brewers will honor Allan H. (Bud) Selig with a statute at Miller Park’s Home Plate Plaza. Commissioner Selig’s statue will be alongside those of Hank Aaron and Robin Yount. He’s a very polarizing figure among baseball fans. His reign over baseball has local media lining up to kiss the ring, hailing him as the greatest commissioner in the history of sports. Other national personalities view him in a different light. I appreciate the wild card round and interleague play being brought into the game. The All-Star Game shouldn’t have any bearing on anything, period. The drug testing was a day late and a dollar short for my book. Blame for the steroid era can go round and round, but Selig deserves his fair share. A large segment of the fan base grew tired of his daughter running the team. I’m not a supporter of Selig, but I am very grateful for his contributions to Milwaukee. Without Bud Selig, who knows if baseball would have come back to the Brew City? I have fond memories of going to Brewers games when I was a kid. The Brewers and County Stadium fueled my need for baseball. I don’t agree with all of his decisions; however I completely believe that Bud Selig deserves a statue at Miller Park. The ceremony will take place on August 24th. Read the rest of this entry >>
