MSNBC: SELIG'S DAUGHTER CHAIRS BREWERS!

Special to the Readers of Milwaukeeworld

By Michael Horne

A Brooklyn-based freelance writer named Mark J. Miller tells us today, Wednesday, December 19th, 2007, in "Scuttlebutt" on the MSNBC website that Wendy Selig-Prieb is still the chairman of the Milwaukee Brewers! The anachronistic observation is contained in a post about Eric Gagne, the recently signed Brewer who is named in the Mitchell report on performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball.

As Miller, who has a regular column on the website, writes in a section appropriately called "Rumors":

An added bummer for the Brewers, whose chairman of the board is Commissioner Bud Selig’s daughter, is that Gagne is probably the highest-profile player to be named who is in the group of players who supposedly took drugs post-2004, when the league finally had some kind of rules against performance-enhancers.

Milwaukeeworld tried contacting MSNBC sports brass to inform them that Ms. Selig is no longer part of the Brewers' management, but to no avail. For the record, Mark Attanasio is the team's lead investor and chairman, according to the official MLB website. He purchased the team from the Seligs and others in January, 2005. (See here to prove it.). The Seligs are to the Brewers as the Dodgers are to Mr. Miller's precious Brooklyn: gone, gone, gone! Outta here!

MORE FROM THE SPORTS DESK

Deanna Favre, the wife of Green Bay Packer Quarterback Brett Favre, was spotted Wednesday, December 19th, 2007, outside of Hers, a fashionable women's boutique located at 309 N. Water Street in the Historic Third Ward's lovely Renaissance Building.
The unaccompanied Ms. Favre climbed into the back of a black Lincoln Town Car -- opening the door herself -- and was driven south. How very low key, yet elegant! But liveried motor coaches do not come cheap, and neither do the clothes at Hers. Ms. Favre might feel comfortable frittering away her marital property on herself with such extravagances, which could easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars in a year. But when the money runs out (at this rate in the year 3025) there won't be any Lincoln Town Car to drive the Favre family to the poorhouse!
