Brewers’ Biloxi-Based Baseball Business Broadcasts Branding
(B-apologies.)
Monday evening saw the new Biloxi baseball franchise unveil its name, logo, and overall branding at a well-attended, public event in Biloxi, Mississippi. An announcement weeks in the making, the tightest of lids was kept before the unveiling to build excitement and anticipation among the locals as well as those watching from afar.
A fan vote provided the ownership group with a list of six names to choose from. The finalists all had local ties, from community to economy to industry.
The name was chosen and the build up commenced to Monday’s announcement which coincided with social media postings.
Ladies and Gentlemen… Your Biloxi Shuckers! pic.twitter.com/6YH2PXmcAb

Congratulations to all involved.
And the best of luck to the Biloxi Shuckers — Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers — in 2015 and beyond!

Brewers Extend Two Player Development Contracts
The Brewers announced today a pair of PDC extensions. They’ve extended their relationships with their Double-A and High-A affiliates.
Still no word on Triple-A Nashville. (***UPDATE*** Nashville informed the Brewers earlier today that they would not be signing back as the Triple-A affiliate of the Brewers. ***END OF UPDATE***)
What follows is the official press release from the Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a four-year player development contract extension with Double-A Biloxi of the Southern League through the 2018 season and a two-year PDC extension with Class-A Brevard County of the Florida State League through the 2016 season. The announcements were made by Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Doug Melvin.
“We are excited to extend our contracts with Biloxi and Brevard County,” said Melvin. “We look forward to working with Ken Young and his ownership group as the team relocates from Huntsville to Biloxi and into a new ballpark. The top-notch facilities will give our players the necessary tools to further develop into Major Leaguers.”
The Brewers were affiliated with the Huntsville Stars since the 1999 season. Earlier this year, a Biloxi ownership group led by Ken Young purchased the Stars. Construction of a new ballpark in Biloxi, Mississippi is underway for the 2015 season.
“We’re looking forward to bringing baseball to Biloxi and are eager for this new chapter,” said Biloxi General Manager Buck Rogers. “The Brewers are a class act organization and we can’t wait to get started in our new ballpark.”
The Brevard County Manatees recently completed their 10th season as an affiliate of the Brewers, which began with the 2005 season. The Manatees play their home games at Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Florida. They are owned and operated by Central Florida Baseball Group, LLC.
“The Manatees are thrilled to continue the great working relationship with the Milwaukee Brewers,” said Central Florida Baseball Group Chairman Dr. Tom Winters. “The entire organization is first class.”
Brewers Extend Affiliation With Double-A Huntsville Stars
The Milwaukee Brewers and Huntsville Stars have extended their player development contract for two more seasons through the completion of the 2014 season. The announcement was made jointly today by Brewers President of Baseball Operations – General Manager Doug Melvin and Stars General Manager Buck Rogers.
“We have agreed to extend our working agreement with the Stars,” said Melvin.
“The current facility and conditions provide a number of challenges on the player development front and we support Miles Prentice and his ownership group in their continued efforts to get a much needed new park.
The Southern League continues to provide a competitive environment for our players at the Double-A level and we look towards continuing our long-time affiliation with the Huntsville Stars.”
The Stars recently completed their 14th season as the Brewers’ Double-A affiliate, a partnership that began at the start of the 1999 season. During this timeframe, the Stars have won four division championships (2001, 2003, 2006 and 2007) and were the Southern League co-champions in 2001.
“We are extremely proud to continue our relationship with the Brewers for another two years,” said Rogers. “Many of the players that the Brewers have assigned to Huntsville have gone on to become Major League stars. The coaches and players that were a part of our 2012 season were heavily involved with the community. The Brewers are a classy organization and we are honored to have them back in Huntsville.”
Huntsville is a member of the Southern League’s North Division.
They play their home games at Joe W. Davis Stadium in Huntsville, Alabama and are managed by Darnell Coles.
