When Bernie shows up, at least there'll be intentional comedy on the
field.
The Brewers will have an addition to their lineup in July - Bernie
Mac. The comedian and actor will wear Brewers blue for the feature
film "Mr. 3,000," which starts filming at Miller Park and other
Milwaukee locations in July. Mac will play a fictitious Brewers
player who retires with 3,000 career hits, only to return to baseball
a few years later when a statistical error reveals he is three hits
short of the milestone. The film's production crew has told team
officials it hopes to film live baseball and crowd scenes on July 23
and 24, when the Brewers play the Astros.
