Milwaukee Excluded as NL expands to introduce Montreal
National League awards two new franchises for 1969, San Diego as expected and Montreal as a surprise, with Milwaukee and other cities passed over. Chicago meetings reveal the shift from ten to twelve teams, while the American League also adds Kansas City and Seattle. Milwaukee fans are urged to support the White Sox at Conn Stadium, and notable figures such as Gene Barber and the Orioles rise in interest. Football headlines include Halas resigning as Bears coach and Norm Van Brocklin taking College All-Stars post. Monroe Cheesemakers fade from season, track and golf vie for state and sectional honors as Monona Grove awaits.
