TAMPA, Fla. -- A month after being inducted into pro footballs Hall of Fame, Derrick Brooks will become the newest member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ring of Honor. The team formally announced Tuesday that the nine-time All-Pro linebacker who led the Bucs to their only Super Bowl title 11 seasons ago will also have his No. 55 jersey retired during a ceremony at halftime of a home game against the St. Louis Rams on Sept. 14. Brooks was the 28th player selected in the 1995 NFL draft and teamed with Tampa Bays other first-round pick that year -- Hall of Famer Warren Sapp -- to form the foundation of a dominant defence that helped transform a struggling franchise once jokingly called the "Yucs" into a perennial playoff contender. "If Warren was the heart of our defence, then todays inductee, Derrick Brooks, was the soul that propelled us to our world championship in 2002," Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer said. "On any given Sunday, Derrick easily was the best athlete on the field," Glazer added. "There was no tight end he could not cover, no quarterback he could not chase down for a sack and no running back he could not tackle in the open field." Brooks, wholl enter the pro football Hall of Fame in August, joins Lee Roy Selmon, John McKay, Jimmie Giles, Paul Gruber and Sapp in having his name displayed in the Ring of Honor, which was created in 2009 at Raymond James Stadium. Selmon, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1995, and Sapp, enshrined in Canton a year ago, are the only other players to have their jerseys retired by the Buccaneers. The 11-time Pro Bowl selection recalled Tuesday how when Tony Dungy arrived in Tampa in 1996 -- Brooks second pro season -- the former Bucs coach challenged him and Sapp to become the best players they could be by striving to do for Tampa Bay what eventual Hall of Famers Joe Greene and Jack Ham did for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s. "We took it to heart," Brooks said, adding that someone had suggested to him that the Bucs decision to induct him into the Ring of Honor was one of "worst-kept" secrets in town because it comes the same year he joined Sapp as a first-ballot Hall of Famer. "I dont look at it that way. As I told Mr. Glazer, you dont take anything for granted. You dont make any assumptions," Brooks said. "Today is a very important day in my life. To have my number retired is extremely special, too." Brooks didnt miss a game in 14 pro seasons, ending his career with a stretch of 208 consecutive regular-season starts, tied for the 10th-longest streak in NFL history, His 10 consecutive Pro Bowl berths from 1997 to 2007 tied for the second-longest by a linebacker in league history.

The Canadians didnt know they had qualified when they came off the ice after a tense win over the U.MILWAUKEE -- Edwin Maysonet did not come to Miller Park on Saturday expecting to play. Milwaukees reserve infielder, who was called up from Triple-A Nashville six days ago, started at second base with Rickie Weeks sidelined by a sore wrist and hit his first career grand slam to help the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 8-2. Maysonet had only one career home run before Saturday -- and it took him three years to get the second after hitting his first for Houston in May 2009 against Pittsburgh. Weeks was hit on the left wrist during the Brewers 13-inning win Friday. X-rays were negative and Weeks is listed as day to day. "Im just trying to get a good fastball that I can hit a line drive because I am not a home run hitter," Maysonet said. "You can see my stats." Maysonet even got to take a curtain call in front of the sellout crowd, something that really made an impression on him. "It was a great day," he said. "You go out there and play hard and try to help your team win. It felt amazing." Maysonets teammates were also thrilled for him. "It was awesome," said catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who had two hits to continue his recent hot hitting streak. "Its fun to see a guy like that get a hit and help us win." Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Weeks would be back at second base on Sunday if he is feeling better, but he was very pleased with Maysonets offensive and defensive contributions. "He had a really nice day," Roenicke said. "He looked good in the field and had some really nice at-bats." Roenicke was also very pleased with the performance of starting pitcher Shaun Marcum (2-1), who gave up just one run on three hits and had six strikeouts. After giving up a run in the first he did not allow a runner past second, retiring 10 of the last 11 he faced. "Marcum was very good today," Roenicke said. "He was changing speeds well and it was fun to watch. He really messes with hitters with his speed changes and the waay the ball moves.dddddddddddd" It was the second straight win for the Brewers, who beat the Cubs on Friday in a 5-hour game that ended just past midnight. Saturdays start remained at noon because it was a nationally televised game. Chris Volstad (0-5) pitched six innings for the Cubs, giving up six runs on nine hits. It was the 18th straight start that Volstad did not record a victory. His last win was July 17, 2011, for Florida. Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Volstad pitched a good game, but it got away from him in the sixth inning. "The slider got him in trouble again," he said. "That is something weve got to work on because its a pitch he needs, but its getting hit too often and too hard." The Cubs grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning when David DeJesus scored on Starlin Castros double-play groundout. The Brewers tied it in the bottom half as Nyjer Morgan came home when Ryan Braun got caught in a rundown while trying to steal second base. Milwaukee broke the game open in the sixth inning. Lucroy, who led off with a double, scored on Aramis Ramirezs fielders choice. Corey Hart doubled to the left field wall and the Cubs walked Travis Ishikawa to load the bases. Maysonet then hit the second pitch from Volstad into the second level in left field. Tony Campanas RBI double in the eighth cut it to 6-2 for the Cubs, but Norichika Aokis suicide squeeze and Jonathan Lucroys RBI single in the bottom of the inning pushed the Brewers ahead 8-2.
