Default Why Milwaukee Won't Move

If you look back at the comment from MilBraves above, you have the answer as to why the Brewers not only will never move back to the AL, but the answer to the question as to why they are currently in the NL. Selig knew the rivalry between the White Sox and Brewers was luke-warm at best and usually only resulted in fights in the seats, which were still half empty as Sox fans don't travel as well as Cubs fans. When he knew that the team had to be sold, he and the pols swindled the taxpayers into building a new stadium which Cubs fans would fill any time the Cubs were in town. Thus, the Brewers had to be moved to the NL Central. Turn up a rock and you'll usually find money or politicians (one follows the other - you choose the order) and the Brewers will never leave their privately used, publicly owned home in the National League.
