More on the Cleveland Indians of Milwaukee vs. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Miller Park

Oh, I can't wait to see all the Major League references. (That's right folks, the original Major League movie was filmed right here in Milwaukee at old County Stadium)

So far I've read a lot of backlash to the move, but I actually think it's a pretty smart move. It's certainly not the first time a team has moved games. The Marlins played in Chicago when a hurricane chased them from home.

There's been a lot of snide remarks about Bud Selig bringing the teams to Milwaukee, but all sources are saying that it was the Indians' idea. Apparently the decision was between Milwaukee and Houston.

The brilliance was sparkling over on Pardon the Interruption this afternoon as Wilbon and Kornheiser called the move moronic and idiotic and said the games should just have gone to Anaheim. Of course, the Collective Bargaining Agreement requires a rest day if travel will be from coast to coast and the Indians are in Boston right now. Sorry guys, looks like a little research could have kept you from looking moronic.

From what I've read on local message boards, Milwaukee baseball fans are psyched. There's never going to be a time that we'll be able to see a Major League game for that price. Sales figures are about 10,000 tickets sold for all three games combined. Considering Thursday is a day game and the ticket situation was sketchy at best until late this afternoon, I'd say 10,000 isn't a bad sales figure for one day. The lower level seats go for around $90 just behind the dugouts and home plate, so any fan is happy to get those seats for such a bargain price.

The best caveat to this story is that Tuesday's game was supposed to be Rick Vaughn glasses giveaway night in Cleveland. Milwaukee fans are rabidly hoping the giveaway makes the move to Milwaukee as well. Could they ask for a better tie-in?
