Sale of the Brewers FINALLY official
Congratulations Mark Attansio, you're the new owner of the Milwaukee Brewers. I think the investment Attansio has made is much better than some people realize. A few random thoughts...

Milwaukee is a great baseball city. Look at what happened when the team was four games over .500 in July last season, there were crowds over 30 and 40 thousand to see Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

The Beloit/Wisconsin Low A game back in 2003 drew a crowd of twelve-thousand. Twelve-thousand fans went out to Miller Park to see just a glimmer of hope for the future. I think that's a very positive message.

Attansio has purchased a team that is on the rise. They have a very talented minor league system and have a lot of talented young Major Leagers. This team will be competitive in 2005 and will be very close to the playoffs in the years after that.

And as a final thought, notice how Selig combined the new drug-testing policy press-conference and the new Brewers ownership press-conference? It's all about marketing...
