Brewers Ticket Sales On Record-Breaking Pace Following Trade

Brewers' Ticket Sales Up Threefold Since Making Trade For Sabathia

THE HART FOUNDATION: Brewers RF Corey Hart won the fans’ vote for the final NL roster spot for Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, receiving 8 million votes. Rays 3B Evan Longoria won the AL roster spot with 9 million votes (MLB). In N.Y., Joshua Robinson notes the Brewers plastered “I Hart New York” across Milwaukee and Miller Park, while the Rays “focused on simply bombarding the locals and its employees with an order to vote.” All week, “mannequins wearing Longoria T-shirts cropped up around Tampa, Fla., and the Rays employees were each told to spend an hour voting for their colleague” (N.Y. TIMES, 7/11). In Milwaukee, Michael Hunt writes, “Whether it’s healthy for a populace to be so occupied with its sports team is best left to the shrinks, but the fact is that Corey Hart was voted onto the NL all-star team ahead of players from two of the country’s largest metropolitan areas [Philadelphia and N.Y.]” (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 7/11).
