For Immediate Release (Milwaukee Brewers)
ASSOCIATED PRESS (Milwaukee, WI) - In response to two consecutive years of post All Star break collapses by both players and the collective team, Bud Selig today approved a petition from Doug Melvin to allow the Milwaukee Brewers to compete against Wisconsin American Legion teams during the 2008 All Star break. Taking on the Brewers in what is being referred to as the Mid-Wisconsin Classic will be the Eagle River Bears Legion #455, Madison Mallards, and Janesville Aces Legion #253.
Legion teams will be allowed six outs per inning unless a pitcher with a name ending in -pan -ano -bow -ero -eva is manning the mound. Batters with last names that are parts of the calendar will be allowed four strikes (i.e. "Weeks"). Eagle River player Gary Day is expected to have a breakout season because of the new rule.
All games will be held at Carson Park in Eau Claire, WI because of the need for a neutral playing field. The Brewers are heavy underdogs because of their road difficulties.
