IN MEMORIAM

And Now Batting {cue music} The Fantasy Camp staff is always looking for new ways to enhance your experience during the week, and tomorrow we amp it up. For the fi rst time, campers will feel what it’s like to walk up to the plate with a snippet of ‘your song’ blaring through the stadium speakers. The music tomorrow runs the gamut of genres. You’ll hear oldies from The Kingsmen and Neil Diamond, to theme songs from movies like Rocky and Superman. One camper wants to ride the ‘Crazy Train’; another thinks he’s ‘Like A Virgin’; there’s one who apparently didn’t like the accommodations this week and would have rather stayed at the ‘Hotel California’; while one camper likes the feel of his lower appendages when he chooses to ‘Tip Toe Through the Tulips’. To the four campers who didn’t supply a song choice, you left the decision-making up to me. Hehehehehe!

Craig Counsell remembers visiting AT&T Park in San Francisco some years ago and seeing a group of former Giants honored for their contributions to the franchise, even if those contributions fell short of consideration for Cooperstown. Counsell thought the idea would play in Milwaukee, where the Brewers’ Walk of Fame has in recent years become a most diffi cult club to crack.

Counsell’s idea came to life on Thursday, when the Brewers announced plans to build a “Wall of Honor” on a prominent space outside Miller Park, just like the one in San Francisco. Fifty-eight former Brewers players and executives, from Hall of Famers to Mike Fetters, will be inducted prior to a June 13 game against the Reds.

“Maybe they’re not Hall of Famers, but they are players who spent some time here and achieved certain stan-dards,” Counsell said. “When I saw it in San Francisco, I thought it was great for the fans, seeing some of the players they had watched when they were kids, or when they brought their own kids to the games. It’s a way to document the history of the franchise.

“I always think that the teams that can create a history are the teams that connect with their fans better. That’s why I liked this.

Because his own name is part of that history, Counsell abstained from the tricky part — setting the criteria for induction. The idea was to make the Wall of Honor dif-ferent than the Walk of Fame, which is debated by all and voted upon by media and Brewers offi cials each winter, and instead, as COO Rick Schlesinger put it Thursday, to recognize “the many individuals who either spent a signifi cant portion of their career with the Brew-ers, or have a signifi cant legacy with the organization through various achievements.”

After some debate, the Brewers chose players who met any of the following standards:

• 2,000 or more plate appearances as a Brewer• 1,000 or more innings pitched• 250 appearances as a pitcher• Winner of a major award (MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year or Fireman of the Year)• Manager of a pennant-winning team• Individuals memorialized with statues on the Miller Park Plaza• Members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame who played for or managed the Brewers

Home-grown Counsell, who was raised in a Milwaukee suburb before fi nishing his career with his hometown team, will be part of the inaugural class by virtue of his 2,063 Brewers plate appearances.

Here is the full list of inductees:

Hank Aaron, Jerry Augustine, Sal Bando, Chris Bosio, Johnny Briggs, Jeromy Burnitz, Mike Caldwell, Bill Cas-tro, Jeff Cirillo, Jim Colborn, Cecil Cooper, Counsell, Chuck Crim, Rob Deer, Cal Eldred, Fetters, Rollie Fin-gers, Jim Gantner, Moose Haas, Bill Hall, Darryl Hamil-ton, Teddy Higuera, John Jaha, Geoff Jenkins, Harvey Kuenn, Sixto Lezcano, Pat Listach, Mark Loretta, Dav-ey May, Bob McClure, Paul Molitor, Don Money, Char-lie Moore, Jaime Navarro, Dave Nilsson, Ben Oglivie, Dan Plesac, Darrell Porter, Ken Sanders, George Scott, Kevin Seitzer, Allan H. (Bud) Selig, Richie Sexson, Ben Sheets, Ted Simmons, Jim Slaton, B.J. Surhoff, Don Sutton, Gorman Thomas, Bill Travers, Bob Uecker, Jose Valentin, Greg Vaughn, Vina, Pete Vukovich, Bill Wegman, Bob Wickman and Robin Yount.

Seven active Major Leagues already meet the criteria and will join the Wall of Honor after they retire: John Axford, Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, J.J. Hardy, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks. Other cur-rent Brewers like Jonathan Lucroy (1,691 plate appear-ances) and Carlos Gomez (1,618 plate appearances) are already getting close.

“These are all players who played enough that fans have a story about them,” Counsell said. “You’ll remember a game he played in. You’ll share it with your son or daughter. That’s what this is supposed to be all about.”

The permanent exhibit will be installed on an exterior wall at Miller Park adjacent to the Hot Corner entrance,

where fans enter year-round for access to the restaurant and team store. Honorees will be recognized with a bronze plaque affi xed to the wall, with their image and a brief synopsis of their Milwaukee baseball career etched onto the marker.

The plaques are designed by Matthews International, designers of the plaques for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The fi nal outcome was not available by press time, but the winner received a Gorman Thomas Fantasy Camp jersey for outlasting the rest of the competitors. The money raised last night will be given to Amber’s Last Promise, Inc. (read below). Thank you to everyone for giving to a cause that is very near and dear to the hearts of Jodie and Elmer Baacke. Focusing On A Championship Berth

As the day came to a close yesterday, one thing became clearer, while another was just as cloudy as the sky above the fi elds. What came into focus is that Sons ‘A Pitches is one win away from securing a berth in Saturday’s championship game. Who their opponent will be isn’t as clear. Sons ‘A Pitches, who won both games yesterday, leads camp with a 5-1 record, while Tiny’s Terrors, Easy Street, and G-Spots are at .500 with a 3-3 record. Bringing up the bottom of the standings, are Deer Meat and 3rd Sacker Farm, both at 2-2. The Pitches proved to everyone why they are this year’s team to beat, besting Deer Meat and 3rd Sacker Farm in games yesterday. In the opener, the Pitches were tied 1-1 with the Meat going into the 5th inning, when the Pitches busted out for three runs in the top of the frame, and two more in the sixth to pull ahead and coast to a 6-2 victory. Mike Zimmerman and Michael Grebe led the Pitches with two hits apiece, but it was Tony ‘Frenchy’ Peltier who drove in half his team’s six runs. In the afternoon, the Pitches hosted

the Farm and found themselves down 2-0 going into their half of the second, when they scored three runs on fi ve hits, and continued their scoring by adding a total of six runs in the next four innings in their 9-4 defeat of the Don Money and Pete Ladd led Farms. One of three teams Sons ‘A Pitches could face in the championship game is Tiny’s Terrors. The Terrors’ Gary Anderson took a page from Wednesday’s pitching gems by Chris Greatens and ‘Wave’ Robinson, by going the distance and blanking the G-Spots 10-0. John Lendosky and Tom Mark each drove in two, and Anderson helped his own cause by driving in one. The Terrors dropped the afternoon game 7-5 to the Meat. The high-scoring game of the day saw Easy Street pound out 32 hits, and put up 16 runs in the seventh inning to beat 3rd Sacker Farm 28-10. Craig Geiger led the hit parade with fi ve, while his brother, Jeff Geiger and Dan Zier both chipped in with four hits apiece. Easy Street could’ve used a couple of runs from their morning game as they dropped the afternoon contest to the

G-Spots 7-6. Coming off their defeat at the hands of the Pitches in the morning, Deer Meat bounced back and beat Tiny’s Terrors 7-5. With three teams in a tie going into the last day of the season, there are tie-breakers that may come in to play in deciding who moves on to the championship game. The tie-breaker rules can be found on the back of today’s newsletter. After Day 1, Easy Street was winless but now their path could take them to the championship game. Who will play the late game on Saturday, and who will not? All questions will be answered today!
