Doug Melvin and Jerry Augustine will be in Green Bay at Stadium View for a Brewers/Bullfrogs Hot Stove Event. Here was the article

Didn't Melvin do the same thing last offseason? Iirc that was the event that rluz had attended, and put up his video at his blog.

Wow, $6 tickets. In Madison the equivalent event is $400 for a table of eight or $50 for a single ticket. (I assume the amenities are scaled up enough to warrant the cost.)

I believe it was either last year, or the year before.

I'm pretty sure it was last year, and DM almost offered rluz a job on the spot.

It was last year. He answered a lot of questions too. The $6 includes a hot dog and chips as well.

It was last year and it was completely worth it. Melvin was more than happy to answer any and all questions during the question and answer session. I also noticed him talking to engaging any and all who came up to talk to him. He even gave me an unsolicited, "How's it going" as he made his way up to give his talk. He apparently knows how to work a crowd.

 

Here's a couple links to a recap and two videos from the event last year:

For anyone who can't attend, I'll make sure the batteries are fully charged this year. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

For $6 you get a ballpark meal and get to ask Melvin anything you want. What more can you ask?

how do you get tickets for it?

As the linked article says, you can buy them ahead of time or just show up. Not sure if you run the risk of it selling out.

I think that I'll go this year...I have a really stupid question to ask him that doesn't have anything to do with baseball. My gfs cousin is really good friends with DMs son, at least thats what he says. Just want to ask DM if he has even heard of him...told ya it was stupid

Off topic, but I wonder if this is the same guy I played baseball with at MATC.
