Sports Editors/Baseball Writers & Columnists

ADVISORY...for Wednesday (Oct. 4)

--(BW SportsWire)

      WHAT: After nearly five decades of hosting some of baseball's
        greatest players, Milwaukee County Stadium is spending its
        last night of existence with the people who made the stadium
        truly great - its fans. In a first-of-its-kind urban camping
        experience, approximately 1,000 people have purchased 148 camp
        sites located in the outfield of County Stadium and will be
        camping out the night before the stadium is demolished. All
        camping equipment will be furnished by Coleman Company, an
        industry leader in outdoor recreational and leisure products.
        There will be celebrity appearances and a variety of
        entertainment for all ages. This sold-out event is expected to
        raise $150,000 for Community Advocates' housing programs, a
        Milwaukee-based charity helping homeless families.

      WHO: Bob Uecker, legendary Milwaukee Brewers' radio announcer
        George Carl, coach for the Milwaukee Bucks
        Jim Gantner, Milwaukee Brewers' former second baseman and
        former coach
        Darwin Ham, forward for the Milwaukee Bucks

      WHERE: Milwaukee County Stadium

      WHEN: Saturday, October 7 - Rain or Shine. Event begins at 3 p.m.
