The Milwaukee Brewers announced Monday that they will honor former owner and current baseball commissioner Bud Selig with a statue at Miller Park.

It will be the third statue built at Miller Park, joining Hank Aaron and Robin Yount.

"We are proud to honor Commissioner Selig for all of his efforts on behalf of the Milwaukee Brewers and Major League Baseball," said current owner Mark Attanasio. "The Brewers and Miller Park are in this city because of the commissioner's vision and dedicated efforts."

The statue will be unveiled at a ceremony on August 24.
