Page "Bud Selig" Paragraph 8

Selig arranged for major league games to be played at Milwaukee County Stadium.

The first, a pre-season match-up between the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, drew more than 51, 000 spectators.

Selig followed this up by hosting nine White Sox regular-season games in 1968 and eleven in 1969.

One of the games played in Milwaukee that year was against the expansion Seattle Pilots, the team that would become the Brewers.

Those Milwaukee " home " games were phenomenally successful, with the handful of games accounting for about one-third of total White Sox home attendance.
