The Milwaukee Brewers held their first-ever World Series parade, a historic celebration 19 months after the passing of legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker. Fans gathered in estimated crowds of 500,000 to 750,000 to honor the team's championship victory. Players and legends like Robin Yount and Paul Molitor paid tribute to Uecker, whose 80-by-100-foot mural at the Wintrust Financial Center served as a focal point.
Team captain Christian Yelich noted Uecker's deep desire to see a title before his death, making the victory a tribute to his legacy. The parade wound through downtown to the American Family Insurance Amphitheatre, where Sal Frelick famously promised a beer for every fan in attendance. Manager Pat Murphy expressed plans to bring the trophy to Uecker's grave, honoring the 57-year wait for a championship that united generations of fans.
