Brewers host three American League Teams

THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS, eying post-season play this season, face three teams from the American League this month.

The Brewers are led by Prince Fielder, whose 50 home runs in 2007 set a Brewer record and led the National League; Ryan Braun, the National League rookie of the year in 2007, and veteran pitchers Ben Sheets and Jeff Suppan.

Attendance at Miller Park, just five miles west of downtown Milwaukee, surpassed 2.8 million in 2007 and the enthusiasm has carried over to this season.. For tickets and team updates, visit www.brewers.com.
