Ben Sheets, one of the top strikeout artists in Milwaukee Brewers history, is going to be taking his place among the franchise's greats this summer.

The team announced Thursday that the right-hander has been elected to the team's Walk of Fame, making him just the 22nd player to be so honored.

Bob "Hurricane" Hazle has also been elected to the Milwaukee Braves Wall of Honor.

Both players will be honored during the upcoming season at a date to be announced later.

Sheets, the 10th overall pick in the 1999 draft, was named an all-star in four of his eight seasons in Milwaukee (2001, 2004, 2007 and 2008) and became the first Brewers pitcher to start the All-Star Game in 2008.
