Beginning today, baseball fans will have an opportunity to participate in a weeklong auction on the Brewers homepage to bid on retro Milwaukee Braves game jerseys worn by Brewers players and coaches in recent years.
All net proceeds from the auction will go toward funding the Milwaukee Braves Historical Society's 50th anniversary celebration, scheduled for Aug. 30.
The online auction begins today at noon. The featured jerseys include game-worn uniforms from "Turn Back the Clock Night" on Aug. 26, 2005, when the Brewers took on the Atlanta Braves at Miller Park. Each jersey is individually autographed by a Brewers player or coach.
Additional jerseys available in the auction include autographed Milwaukee Braves "Turn Back the Clock" jerseys from former Milwaukee Braves players such as Red Schoendienst and Bob Buhl.
A select few Milwaukee Braves jerseys from May 22, 2002, when the Brewers rolled back the clock against the Los Angeles Dodgers, will also be available as part of the auction.
The auction will conclude on Thursday, April 5, at noon.
The Brewers are helping to raise funds for the Milwaukee Braves Historical Society to defray the costs bringing the surviving members of the 1957 Milwaukee Braves championship team back to Milwaukee for a celebration on Aug. 30. For more information, contact Tom Kaminski at (414) 347-1212.
