"On behalf of everyone at the Milwaukee Brewers, I congratulate Commissioner Emeritus Selig on his election to the Hall of Fame, the highest honor in our sport," said Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, who took ownership reins from the Selig family in 2005. "The Commissioner's contributions to baseball are monumental: leading MLB in its continuing role as one of America's most influential social institutions on diversity and inclusiveness; forging labor peace with the players' union, which now will extend for more than 26 years with the agreement signed last week, and by overseeing unparalleled levels of competitiveness on the field.
