This can be considered "new" old news but WISN did a feature on visiting ballplayers reportedly seeing ghosts walk around the hotel. Last season when I was in the Twin Cities for a Brewers-Twins series, I remember reading one of the Twin Cities newspapers with a feature on Carlos Gomez. The Minny/St. Paul reporter asked Gomez if he ever experienced a ghost siting at the Milwaukee Pfister and he said he did experience some paranormal activity while staying there during a road trip. The only thing I know about the Pfister is its knack for giving visiting teams terrible luck. Two Yankee players arrested, a brawl between two Pirates pitchers leading one to the DL and I recall reading about a brawl involving the Yankees (Reggie Jackson part of it?) in the late 70's or early 80's.

I have often kept the ticket stubs of all or most of the Brewer games I have ever gone to. Just the other day I looked through them and wondered to myself if I had mistakenly thrown some of them out because I remember going to about 30-40 Brewer games in the bleachers during the final County Stadium season alone and I can count up to 23 or so. Does anyone collect their stubs like me?

The Nationals have been involved in several uniform snafus this season and the people running things have done a lot of bad gimmicks to appease the fans that have turned out...well bad this season. Majestic, the supplier of all MLB uniforms, continually issued Nationals players with jerseys misspelling Washington, Nationals and some have not even been stitched up properly leading to numbers falling off the uniforms throughout a given game. On top of all of that, some employees responsible for creating banners for the stadium have made grammatical errors. Then on CNNSI's Hot Clicks today, the Nationals thought it would be a good idea to shoot sausages wrapped in Nationals' t-shirts into the stands. Yes, that is right... someone in the Nationals promotion office thought that would be a good idea. What better way to make the fans happy than giving them grease soaked shirts with sausages shot out of a cannon? The link above is by FanIQ explaining some of the Nationals' shortcomings this season. In addition to the promotional mishaps and jersey snafus that continually never should happen, they were involved in: 1) a Latin American signing bonus scandal leading to the resignation/firing of GM Jim Bowden and former pitcher Jose Rijo and 2) the team just can't win on the field. Even when the Brewers were in depressing times, they still at least got the game promotions right even if it was autograph Fridays featuring the Moutons or something. Makes me wonder if the organization is run by a bunch of 8-year-old elementary school students instead of college graduates educated enough to know how to spell Washington, Nationals or even proofread something that will be read by thousands of local fans and circulated to the millions in America. Can someone tell me what is going on in Washington?

This season may mark our third consecutive over-.500 campaign. But many fans do not know the true meaning of this string of success from a franchise perspective. If this team holds on for the remainder of the season, it could be the second longest string of consecutive winning seasons in franchise history. The Brewers did not post its first ever winning season until the 1978 season by winning 93 games. They continued the streak until 1983. But there was a strike-shortened 1981 season, so there is question of whether to include that season with the streak. But there were merely two other streaks consisting of just back-to-back winning seasons (1987-88, 1991-92). But what does all of this mean to the current Brewers? Well, with all of these facts considered, could this team be one of our best, if not the best in franchise history? There are several parallels between the two different eras. This team has a few players making its way through the team record books and a franchise player in Ryan Braun. During the post-Yount era marked a depressing part of the franchise where we had musical chairs of "franchise" players. In addition, we have been setting attendance records which were not as prevalent and fierce as the 1980's teams. Could this team be the most exciting team in history or are we just in Good Luck mode?

I never took any criminology classes in college (I failed the intro class at uww because I didn't care enough at the time) but what I have always found interesting is the geographic clues and not any of the scenes itself. I have often wondered how involved the DNR is in assisting law enforcement in wooded areas in Wisconsin and what the victims were like prior to being victims. But anyway, I would be surprised if these seven cases are all they could find. Based on my research a serial killer plays into the media reports a lot. That is how BTK was caught, basically a serial killer will not just go down low if it has not yet been detected or there is no correlation between any of his crimes. Once the media in the state of Kansas picked up the BTK after years of it being in the cold files, he basically started his communications again. My bet is if the killer is reading or watching these news reports, he may drop a clue or two along the way. Typically when police go to the media, one of the reasons they do is with hopes the killer may make a mistake. When I interned in Lake County, Illinois as a news reporter, I have covered murder cases that had victims with no involvement with the killer and a case that had a major connection between the two subjects. The geography of cases intrigues me because since Milwaukee is located along the Interstate connected with Chicago and there are several cities/villages in between, there always has been a question of whether Police agencies between the two major Metro areas are in contact with one another on a routine basis.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting the Milwaukee Police Department believes more than a handful of unsolved homicides spanning 21 years is the work of one man. I am not a criminologist by any means, but as a former "cub" news reporter/intern who independently studied media reports of situations involving this to gain knowledge on how the Police operate and interact with the media, it is my belief that there has to be more than these seven cases. There are lots of questions with these developments: There is a large gap between the first and last (1986-2007). Aside from all of this, there are large gaps between some cases. There has to be more than these cases have disclosed. There could be a chance the guy could have moved out of state for a short time and came back. Who knows? Given the fact that the victims are not part of the "social norm" there seems to be less fear among Milwaukee people than say, "BTK" of Kansas. But CNN and USA Today have picked up on these reports from the Journal-Sentinel. But it seems like with this report coming out this week, there could be many more. Anyone got opinions? The biggest gap comes between 1986 and 1995. Where was this suspect in this nine-year span? The State does not have a name to go with the DNA evidence, meaning he never got caught or arrested for a violent crime. Either this suspect has a history of violence against women that were never reported or he has a connection to this urbanized area of Milwaukee.

Just took a look at the standings and the top four leaders in the NL Central are separated within a half game of each other. Only the Astros and Pirates are lower. With the Reds having young power in Joey Votto and Jay Bruce and three solid pitchers in Volquez, Harang and Cueto they could be competitive for some time this season. The Cardinals should never be counted despite any injuries they face because La Russa somehow gets the most out of his players. The Cubs will always be the favorites of the National Media and then you add the Brewers to the mix and we could have a lot of competition this season. One other thing to add is, with some of the talent the top four teams have, could things get any worse for the Pirates? They could be on their way to a 17th consecutive losing season and the two lone bright spots are Freddy Sanchez and Nate McLouth. Will they be the punching bags of the division in 2009?

Also, if you bring your XBox 360, don't spend all day playing it and forget to go to class. Its too easy to skip classes in college, Profs and Lecturers don't take attendance for the most part. And don't set your alarm and "plan" to make it to your early morning class and end up using the snooze button all morning leading you to miss the class. Nothing annoys a roommate more than that. I wanted to break a roommates alarm clock by the fifth week. And since you are a college freshman, there are times where you may have "that high school girlfriend" back home. Don't spend all day talking about her and calling her every day. There were a couple of them on my floor freshman year and they ended up getting made fun of or they simply became "creepy." Academically, during my later years I realized essay tests were much easier than multiple choice. If you make it to class on a consistent basis, chances are you will do better on essay exams because its all based on class lectures. On each multiple choice question, you are either right or wrong. If you at least get the concept of the question on an essay, you will at least get partial credit.

Its the middle of May and some high school seniors are still deciding what school to attend and are busy with Prom preparations, Graduation parties and saying Good bye to classmates they have known since kindergarten. As a 26-year-old on and off college student, I have noticed some trends the last eight or so years. These incoming freshmen need to be prepared for life as an adult. Anyone with college experience post your advice to them. Dorm Life 1. As the only male graduate from my high school that went to UW-Whitewater, I had to basically start over my freshman year. New friends, new roommates and moving on. Don't dwell on high school life too much by creating a collage/montage of pictures of your time in high school on your dorm room wall. I spent the first couple weeks my freshman year hanging out with the few girls I graduated high school with who went to my college until I got to know people around my dorm. Some dorms have an open door policy, so walk around and say hello to random people. Chances are you will make friends. 2. Sometimes rooming with a random guy is better than a friend. In my experience, I roomed with friends and we ended up turning into enemies later on. It goes back to the old, "What is mine is yours and what is yours is mine." Sometimes too much comfort can create disrespect of the other's property. A random roommate and you will be able to create compromise. What is weird is that I became better friends with former random roommates than my actual friends after we all moved on. 3. Its okay to "Say No" when a bunch of fellow freshman knock on your door asking to join them in an off-campus party once in awhile. Take advantage of the easy GenEd courses because these will boost your GPA when you begin taking harder courses later in your college years. 4. As UW-Whitewater was a "suitcase college," there were times when I was one of the very few students left on my floor on weekends. This is a good chance to meet the people who live too far away to make a commute home every weekend. 5. Don't take EVERYTHING you own with you when you move into a dorm. Through several dorm moves, I ended up losing stuff because of the constant packing and unpacking. Lifestyle 1. Don't rush for a fraternity your first semester. This first semester is your semester of self-discovery. No offense, good or bad to fraternities, but its important to know who you are first. 2. Take a shower daily and clean up after yourself. No one in your dorm will like you if you smell like crap and the smell easily filters through. Clean up after yourself because then your whole floor will blame you when there dorm rates go up because you were too lazy to take your garbage to the dumpster and instead threw it in the bathroom. 3. While on campus work-study jobs are easy money, they pay is pretty much minimum wage and in the long run it may not help you. I was given a $2,000 allotment of work-study and I never made close to that in any term. Try to find out where the majority of your classmates work off campus and apply there. Some businesses cater or like hiring students. At Whitewater, the job market is not great so look at neighboring towns if you have a car. 4. Study hard, as said above. Classes will become harder. If not for my early high GPA, I would have been suspended later in my years. GenEd classes may be a pain, but they are the easiest classes in the long run. Early success will pay off once you hit the Golden Age of 21 and will be able to go "downtown" simply because you can. Money 1. Book Buyback is a scam. I spent $60 on a brand new history book my freshman year for a GenEd course with its original factory plastic wrapping on it. After one semester of use, they only offered $3. Hold on to it and see if someone in your dorm is taking the class the next term. Offer it to them for half the price. I hardly ever opened the book and it will help the both of you. He/she gets a new book for half price and you make a better profit. 2. Only apply for additional loans as a last possible resort if you are close to being strapped for cash. I took out a ton of loans and didn't care. But once you see your bills in five years, you will be stunned.

I work odd days: every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and whenever I have my usual Tuesday or Thursday days off I sometimes have no idea what to do. You can only do so much cleaning, household chores before you realize there is nothing left to do. And I can't sit still and enjoy a DVD all by myself when my friends and such are at their Mon-Fri jobs. I try to look up baseball stats daily but even that gets repetitive. I am starting to have the entire 1970's baseball era memorized. Suggestions?

ESPNs Page 2 listed team nicknames as one of faults of professional sports. Which I tend to agree with. Time and time again, pro sports franchises drop the ball on naming their teams generic names or taking a team name to a different city. Team nicknames are sometimes overused (Panthers anyone?). Also, franchises should not name their teams with nicknames not ending in an "S." So I have listed teams that should rename themselves because of nonsensical team nicknames and have left off the justifiable team nicknames. NFL The only team that has a name which does not make much sense is the Cincinnati Bengals. I know the name has been around awhile, but has there ever been a reported sighting of a Bengal in the Cincinnati area? NHL - This league along with the NBA has the least sensible nicknames Nashville Predators - Generic name because ownership probably couldn't think of anything else. Why couldn't they do something connected with the community? St. Louis Blues - Maybe they should switch this team name with Nashville's. Minnesota Wild - Team name not ending in an S Anaheim Ducks - Commercialize team name, stupid Disney movie Atlanta Thrashers - Generic name Phoenix Coyotes - Generic name NBA Toronto Rapters - Will any of us remember Jurassic Park 20-30 years down the road? Memphis Grizzlies - Ownership seemed a bit too lazy to change the name after leaving Vancouver New Orleans Hornets - See Grizzlies Oklahoma City Thunder Washington Wizards Miami Heat Utah Jazz Orlando Magic - See Anaheim Ducks

I am no biologist (I failed the intro class in college) but the way they confirm these cases is the local Health Departments send the strains (or samples in a petri dish) and send them to the CDC where they expose the bacteria or strain to a high temperature and it takes roughly a day or two for it to grow. If it shows any type of development or deformity in the incubator, that is how they confirm the case. But anyhow, there are just a shade of under 150 confirmed cases in the U.S. where the population is 300 million. The percentage is extremely low, but the reason for the urgency is the spread to different regions of the United States. With confirmed cases now in Illinois, there is now a question of whether it will hit Wisconsin. The same can be said about other neighboring states where there will be questions.

The Nationals should be ripped on with this deal in every way. They are struggling to find an identity in Washington, they are trying to find their franchise player to lead the team, they are playing lousy and they fine a guy $500 for being a positive representative of the franchise in the community? A guy showing minutes late after being a positive representative to the franchise is the problem? Their losing and struggles to find that franchise player are not the problem? I can see Dukes being fined if his date with a woman ran late or that he overslept because of a faulty alarm clock, but he was doing this as part of a positive image to the FRANCHISE and they fined him? In a sense his appearance at the Little League function is a part of team business because as I stated before, he represented the team as a member of the Washington Nationals.

This question has often made me wonder, why have all the Legends in Stat categories and most living Hall of Famers never been a Manager/General Manager of any Major League club? The only player that comes to my head that has Managed and is part of any of the elite classes I will be mentioning is Frank Robinson. The following categories will be examined: 500 home run club; 3,000 hit club; 300 win club; and living Hall of Famers. Living but inactive/retired members of 500-home run club: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Sammy Sosa, Frank Robinson, Mark McGwire, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, Willie McCovey, Ernie Banks, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro Dead but members of 500-home run club with Managerial Exp: Ted Williams Total number of players with Managerial experience in 500-home run club: Two (Williams, Washington Senators; Robinson, Cincinnati/Montreal/Washington) Living but inactive/retired members of 3,000 hit club: Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Carl Yastrzemski, Paul Molitor, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr, George Brett, Robin Yount, Tony Gwynn, Dave Winfield, Craig Biggio, Rickey Henderson, Rod Carew, Lou Brock, Rafael Palmeiro, Wade Boggs Total number of players with Managerial experience in 3,000 hit club: One (Rose) Living but inactive/retired member of 300 win club (Pitching): Greg Maddux (he now has the most wins of any living player in history, by the way), Roger Clemens, Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan, Don Sutton, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Tom Seaver. Total number of pitchers with Managerial experience in 300 win club: None Of the Living Players of the Hall of Fame with Managerial Experience: Three (F. Robinson, Yogi Berra and Tony Perez) With all of these figures in mind, why exactly do players with legendary stats and other accomplishments seem to "vanish" after a decade of retiring? I know Willie Mays makes some appearances during Giants games and Hank Aaron was a front office man for the Atlanta Braves for awhile, but it seemed like a "cushion job" simply because he was a legend. Do Major League teams chose to refrain from hiring these guys or do these players mentioned above just chose to decline any offer and decide living in the limelight for a couple decades was enough and it is time to hang it all up? I know Yount has been a bit conservative when approached by people with offers and he often chooses to stay home and spend time with his kids. Molitor can be described the same way. Gwynn has chosen to give back to the community by managing college kids and I believe he may be doing it for free on a "volunteer" basis. My thinking is maybe teams learned from the Ted Williams experience in Washington where he proved he was a better player than manager. It always seems like the "everyday guys" get hired as Managers and General Managers.

Brian, I have offered my services to contribute to a old feature. I would be more than happy to contribute to the Historical Section by creating blurbs or briefs of each year the Brewers have been in existence. I can do like a 3-4 paragraph summary of each season from 1969 (Pilots) to last season. I love research and if my services are accepted in this area, I could also think of other ideas to make this section fresh and easy to navigate.

I wasn't born when he was a Rookie of the Year winner. But I always watched old videos on ESPN or other sports outlets and he always seemed to be an eccentric guy that everyone liked and got along with. There was a Sports Illustrated Issue of "Where are they now" and it showed him candidly pictured next to Big Bird. It seemed like he ran with the nickname when it was coined and never looked back. In this day of baseball, he would have been one of those great guys Mothers and Fathers would not mind having as their kids role model.

Mark "the Bird" Fydrich has reportedly died at his home, according to a Breaking News on www.cnnsi.com They say these things tend to happen in threes. First Adenhart, now Kalas and Fydrich within 24 hours. I always read Fydrich was an eccentric. Sad to see such a colorful guy like him go. EDIT: The Boston Globe just indicated he was tragically killed on his farm working on his pickup truck.

Before I place the labels on the Brewer position players, I will define what each is... Natural - Looks like he belongs out there, relies on athleticism and uses specific physical attributes to his advantage. When in a slump, does not change batting stance or the way he fields. Can get out of slump by a simple mistake pitch made by a pitcher (ie: hanging curve up in the zone). The Natural outfielder makes routine fly balls look more effortless than the Mechanical ballplayers (ie: does not use two hands keep a ball in his glove). The Natural infielder can field grounders and easily flip it to his double play mate with his glove. The Natural ballplayer may decline with age because the physical attributes start to deteriorate. Depending on his position, speed can deteroriate faster than others. Mechanical - Looks semi-robotic out there, relies on whatever batting stance has worked for him in the past. Makes frequent adjustments whenever the current batting stance stops working. The Mechanical outfielder can make routine fly balls look tough and cause fans a heart attack but will get the job done. Now there is nothing wrong with either type of ballplayer and my observations show some of our players have a little bit of both. Jason Kendall - Mechanical, most catchers are mechanical and study the game carefully. Offensively, he is kind of a Natural. He had great athleticism and was fast for a catcher early on, but this has declined with age. Prince Fielder - Natural offensively. Mechanical defensively. His physical attributes offensively totally and obviously are reflective of a power hitter. But his physical attributes could become his own enemy as he ages (see: Mo Vaughn). If he wants to continue his success, needs to watch his weight. May need to re-adjust himself to be mechanical on offense later in his career. Mechanical on defense, looks like he uses all necessary fundamentals to get the job done. His defensive skills were obtained and not what he was "born with." Rickie Weeks - This is a tough debate. He exhibits natural athletic ability (speed, natural batting stance) but some of his fielding techniques look like they were obtained through fundamental teaching. Can at times make double plays look natural instead of mechanical. But whenever he makes a defensive mistake, its due to a small flaw in his follow through. Can field fly balls almost effortlessly. JJ Hardy - Mechanical. Not the fastest guy in the infield, is young but at times appears to be much older than his reflective age (base-running skills are obtained rather than "born with"). Slightly above average among shortstops in fielding range. Makes few mistakes, which can lead me to believe he has some natural ability in his fielding game. Offensively, when he is in a slump, its because of a small mechanical flaw. Bill Hall - Mechanical on all levels. Natural position is 2nd base, has had to learn new positions almost on a yearly basis. Slumps are credited with a mechanical flaw in stance. Follow through in his batting swing is semi-natural. Ryan Braun - Natural offensively, semi-natural defensively. Looks like he belongs in the batters box no matter if he is in a slump or not. Uses his diverse athleticism to his advantage. May need to adjust mechanics as he ages. The reasoning behind my semi-natural defensive assessment is when he makes a mistake its all mechanical and does not seem to be a mental mistake. Uses his physical athleticism to compensate for any defensive shortcomings. Mike Cameron - Natural defensively. Mechanical offensively. Can make defensive plays look effortless, relies on his natural speed to keep up and track fly balls. Lot of range in Centerfield. Mechanical flaws all around when he is in a slump. Corey Hart - Natural offensively. Mechanical defensively. Uses height to his advantage when baserunning. Long arm span allows him to reach for balls slightly outside the zone. Mechanical defensively, changed positions twice (Natural first baseman) but uses his height to his advantage to catch up to fly balls. But looks like his defensive skill was learned and at times can make fly balls look difficult. Any thoughts?

Not entirely sure if this thread has come up before, but just thought it would be cool to track fellow Wisconsinites as they make their way to the Majors. I attended UW-Whitewater and during my tenure as Sports editor of the student newspaper, I witnessed approximately five players make their way onto Minor League clubs. Only one of the five are still in the Minor Leagues while the other four have long retired due to injury or their stock unfortunately topped out in Class A. I am facebook friends with Greg Reinhard, who was our workhorse starter for the Warhawks during their National Championship season, and I chatted with him awhile back and he anticipates to be a part of the Iowa Cubs. What is more odd about this Marinette, Wis. native is he was the then-Devil Rays 6th round pick that June and then dealt to the Cubs for the Jae Kuk Ryu, the pitcher who was arrested for killing a bird before a game. I checked Reinhard's stats from last year and they seem fairly solid and his pitching lines improved after his promotion to AAA Iowa from AA West Tennessee. His teammates, Ryan Callahan and Kevin Tomasiewicz during that National Championship are out of the Minor Leagues after a couple seasons. Reinhard is not on the Cubs 40-man roster yet, but depending on how his season with Iowa goes, there could be a chance he could be a September call-up when rosters expand and a potential injury or two occurs. Callahan signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent the summer Reinhard was drafted and after three seasons in the Minors, he returned to UW-Whitewater to be the team's pitching coach. Tomasiewicz was drafted in 26th round by the New York Mets but I am not entirely sure what happened with his career. But Reinhard told me Tomasiewicz is out of baseball. In my early days, outfielder Travis Van Zile retired after his first season with the Diamondbacks system following an injury. Brady Endl's career was shortened with the Braves system following a series of injuries. There was speculation they may have overworked Endl and caused a career-ending shoulder injury.

MNBrew, since you just mentioned the Nationals and with this being a Uniwatch topic... I do agree with Paul Lukas that the Nationals "W" resembles the Walgreens logo way too much. Does anyone realize the Washington Nationals and the Walgreens "w" looks too much alike? http://dcist.com/attachments/dcist_graham/Washington_Nationals3.jpg http://allpharmacyjobs.com/images/walgreens_logo_lg.jpg

I remember the old Super 18 and Channel 24 days. If I remember right and if you and I are thinking the same thing, I recall Franklin Stubbs as being one of the bearded guys. Is it the one where they are in front of County Stadium?

As much as I hate to say this... TGJ's time with the Brewers has pretty much run out. With this upcoming season being the "make-or-break" year in which we will know with 100 percent certainty if Lorenzo Cain is someone to be relied upon, there just does not seem much promise left for TGJ within the organization. Also, I was disappointed in his development within the system. The only real tool that he could put to use in the Majors is speed, and as the old saying goes, "You can't steal first." But I can't say I am surprised or anything about the end result of TGJ. But there was a time when he and Prince were friends in Beloit and now suddenly Fielder, two years younger, has totaly leapfrogged him in every aspect of the game. It is actually kind of a sad story. As I look at the Beloit Snappers 2004 Magnetic schedule I have, there are three players: Fielder, Weeks and TGJ on it. Guess who the odd man out is? But what happened to his potential? Did he simply plateau at a certain level of the minors?

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports Tony Gwynn Jr. was indeed placed on waivers and now Melvin must play the waiting game on whether he clears waivers. My guess is the Padres may have an interest in snagging him due to the family connection. What is more interesting is this little snippet from the article: Melvin said players in question would not be told they made the club until after the second of two exhibition games Saturday night in Los Angeles. There's always the chance of an addition from outside the organization, and the Brewers are monitoring the waiver wire. Makes me wonder if they are either looking to trade TGJ for another prospect with a minor league option left to burn.

I have watched this movie countless times and have wondered if anyone else has done the same to the point where you have every line memorized. I have made a series of questions related to obscurities/details of the movie to see if anyone else knows the answers to these questions. 1) What player was issued a "red tag" in his locker at the end of Spring Training? 2) Where was Lou Brown working when he received the call from the Indians? 3) Why did Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert's character) defect from Cuba? 4) What network sign is shown on the Milwaukee County Stadium scoreboard during the movie? 5) What does Eddie Harris rub inside his nose? Why? 6) What team did Jake Taylor mention during his hangover phone call from Mexico? 7) What sport did Jake Taylor's love interest (Rene Russo) participate? What exact event? 8) When Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes and Tom Berenger were in the restaurant, what food did Sheen's character ask if it was available? 9) How many times were the Groundskeepers (who were not fond of the team) shown in the movie? 10) Why is the location of the "famous teepee" in the movie unrealistic according to stadium rules? 11) What sign was shown when Wesley Snipes woke up outside the ballpark realizing he "had been cut already?" 12) In what room in Roger Dorn's house did Jake Taylor humiliate Dorn in front of his wife? 13) What was the evolutionary ladder of transport the Indians used from the beginning to end of the movie? 14) Did Harry Doyle's color commentator say a single line during the movie? 15) What were the requirements of eligibility during "Diehard Night?" 16) Why was Sheen's character incarcerated in the California Penal? 17) Which current Scrubs character played the role of the Construction Worker/fan? 18) Why were Eddie Harris and Pedro Cerrano at odds at the beginning of the movie? 19) What type of lazy play did, in quote, did Lou Brown want to punish Roger Dorn? 20) What was Jake Taylor's remedy for Pedro Cerrano's sacrificial wish before the last game in the movie?

I have been looking through a ton of my old Brewers programs, etc. and basically decided it would look cool to hang them up on walls as kind of a way to decorate the walls. But would normal picture frames be able to support them? I especially want to take extra care with the final County Stadium program I have along with the 2002 All-Star program. Whats the best method? I am surprised the All-Star program is still in solid shape (no creases, tears or frayed edges) since it was shoved in a box during my few times moving in and out of dorms, apartments and houses. Also, my Brewer bobbleheads are pretty dusty but am afraid to clean them in event the heads fall off and stuff. Best method there? I got a Uecker, Yount and Molitor bobblehead. I have two other Brewer bobbleheads but Jenkins is no longer with the team and the head accidently broke off the spring and also Ben Sheets. I feel like a moron displaying bobbles of players no longer with the team. Does anyone still display theres?
