When this investigation is over ... that will be the time for me to make those kind of judgments.
I made the decision, and I meant what I said that the competition was incredible and there will be a lot of disappointed people, ... I have to try to be fair. I understand they had only had a game 12 years ago, but they met all the criteria other than that. They have a gorgeous ballpark ... and Kevin McClatchy was about as tenacious as you can get.
They're thrilled to be here. Any time you try to do something different, there is just an inbred resistance.
It is a gorgeous day. In Milwaukee, you don't get a day like this until July Fourth.

I want to know exactly what happened. I want to know all the facts. Then I'll make a decision.
Setting the all-time attendance record for a second straight year shows that baseball's popularity is greater than ever, ... We are living in baseball's golden era.
