Chord Overstreet switches softball allegiance from Brewers to Rangers

FOX’s high school hit Glee may drop a few ratings points in the Milwaukee market next season after actor Chord Overstreet abandoned the Brewers in the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. He wore Milwaukee cap in last year’s event, but represented the Texas Rangers this time.

Explain yourself.

“Hey, they’ve won a couple,” Overstreet joked.

Overstreet insisted that he’s still a big Brewers fan. He is from Nashville, home of Milwaukee’s top Minor League affiliate, and tries to take in a Sounds game or two every summer.

“The Brewers are my favorite team,” he said, “but I thought I’d switch up the uniforms this year and go with Texas. I’m still rooting for my Brew Crew.”

Overstreet has a knack for making the highlight reel. Last year, he robbed Ricky Henderson of a hit with a diving catch. This year, he hit the third of back-to-back-to-back home runs.
