The family of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio announced today that he had died after a prolonged illness. His replacement is expected to be his son, Mike Attanasio, who has served in many capacities with the club. Some sources said the younger Attanasio was a “chip off the old block,” while others commented that he differed in many respects from his father. Speaking off the record, a Milwaukee Brewers official commented, “Mike could be described as generous in financial matters and lenient in personality traits.”
