The Milwaukee Brewers captured their first World Series title in franchise history by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays four games to one, ending a championship drought that stretched back to the club’s 1969 formation.
Rookies and Legends Meet in Milwaukee
Seventy-one-year-old Robin Yount, a central figure from the team’s 1980s golden era, joined the post-game clubhouse celebration to embrace Christian Yelich. The victory delivered closure to a fanbase that watched the 1982 squad drop a seven-game World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals.
“這座城市等待這一刻實在太久，能把冠軍帶回家，我們感到無比開心,” Yelich said of the long-awaited title. The 1980s foundation featured five future Hall of Famers—Yount, Paul Molitor, Ted Simmons, Don Sutton, and Rollie Fingers.
Cooper Pratt Sets Postseason Record
Pratt secured a place in baseball history by becoming the first rookie to record a hit in six consecutive plate appearances during a World Series. Having made his major league debut in June and logging just 74 regular-season games, Pratt reflected on the surreal journey. “這是我人生中最棒的時刻之一，簡直像做夢一樣，這一切太超現實了，竟然只用了4個月,” Pratt said.

Pat Murphy Leads the Clubhouse
Manager Pat Murphy steered the Brewers to the title following a career that included managing the San Diego Padres in 2015 and joining Milwaukee’s coaching staff the following year. Murphy overcame a 2020 heart attack and earned consecutive National League Manager of the Year honors over the previous two seasons before capturing his first championship. Following the final out, first baseman Jake Bauers secured the final play by catching the ball for a game-ending out, immediately presenting the historic ball to Murphy.
“這群小伙子將會永遠被記得，他們不關心個人數據，真正展現出團隊精神，配得上這份榮譽,” Murphy said as the team celebrated on the field.
