MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Brewers have set a date to induct Ben Sheets into the Walk of Fame.

The Brewers have set a date of Saturday Aug. 26, to induct Four-Time All-Star Pitcher Ben Sheets into the Walk of Fame. Sheets is the 22nd individual to be welcomed into the Walk of Fame which commemorates some of the greatest names in Milwaukee baseball history.

Sheets was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1999 and went on to spend eight of his 10 Major League seasons in Milwaukee. He was named to the National All-Star team four times (2001, 2004, 2007, 2008) during his time in Milwaukee, and became the first Brewers pitcher to start an All-Star Game in 2008.

In 2004 Sheets had his best season where he ranked among Major League leaders. On May 14, 2004, Sheets struck out a franchise-record 18 batters in a complete-game victory over the Atlanta Braves in Milwaukee.

An impressive career has Sheets ranked second in franchise history in strikeouts, third in stats, fifth in innings pitched, sixth in wins and ninth in ERA.
