The Milwaukee Brewers announced Monday that they will will honor Commissioner and former Brewers Owner Allan H. (Bud) Selig with a statue at Miller Park.
“We are proud to honor Commissioner Selig for all of his efforts on behalf of the Milwaukee Brewers and Major League Baseball,” said Brewers Owner Mark Attanasio.
“The Brewers and Miller Park are in this city because of the Commissioner’s vision and dedicated efforts. Just as importantly, he has remained a prominent and highly philanthropic member of our community while effectively leading Major League Baseball during his tenure as baseball’s top executive.”
Commissioner Selig’s statue will join those of Hank Aaron and Robin Yount, which were unveiled on April 5, 2001, the first year of Miller Park’s existence. The first two statues were donated by the Allan H. (Bud) Selig Foundation.
The ceremony to unveil the new statue will be staged on August 24 at 1 p.m. at Miller Park.
