What a stiff

[Farmer Ted]

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers are erecting a statue of baseball commissioner Bud Selig outside Miller Park and will unveil it on Aug. 24.

Selig headed a group that bought the Seattle Pilots in bankruptcy court in 1970, moved the franchise to Milwaukee and renamed it the Brewers. He became acting commissioner in 1992 and took the job full-time six years later, turning control of the team over to his daughter, Wendy Selig-Prieb. The Selig family sold the team to a group headed by Mark Attanasio in 2005.

"The Brewers and Miller Park are in this city because of the commissioner's vision and dedicated efforts," Attanasio said Monday.

Selig's foundation donated statues of Hank Aaron and Robin Yount that were unveiled when Miller Park opened in 2001. Selig's statue, which will be more than 7 feet tall, will be built by the same designer, Brian Maughan.

How will it be distinguishable from a statue of Jerry Lewis?

The Lewis one has a better haircut.

But Lewis wasn't as much of a joke.

Suggested pedestal inscription: "This Time, He Stands for Something."

At least they're putting up a statue to Bud, the former owner.
The only thing a statue of the current owner (Wendy Selig-Prieb) would be good for would be a cure for Steve Phillips' sex addiction.
