Despite winning the game 10-0, the Brewers ultimately lost the Series 6-3 to the Cardinals. Selig and his investors were awarded the team by bankruptcy referee Sidney C. Volinn a week before opening day. He and his daughter Wendy Selig-Prieb were responsible for the team’s uniforms and reached the playoffs for the first time in 1981 and won the AL pennant in 1982. Current owner Mark Attanasio bought the team from the Selig family in 2005. SelIG remained as commissioner until his retirement in January 2015.
