Milwaukee's wait is over: 'Better than you think it would be'

ST. PETERSBURG -- In their 57th season in Milwaukee, the Brewers won the city’s first World Series title since 1957. In the 44th year since they last appeared in a World Series, they won for Henry Aaron, whose No. 44 hangs, retired, atop American Family Field. And they didn’t just win the World Series, they hoisted the Commissioner’s Trophy on Wednesday like they owned it, winning the 11 postseason games required while losing just twice along the way.

At long last, it’s no longer just about the 1957 Braves and 1982 Brewers. Jacob Misiorowski, Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich, William Contreras, Cooper Pratt, Aaron Ashby and the rest of the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers will be just as beloved, forever.

At long last, after their 4-1 win over the Rays in Game 5, they are World Series champions.

“I can’t tell you how many people have told me, ‘I’ve waited my whole life for this,’” said Captain Christian Yelich. “I think any time you win a World Series, it changes a place a little bit.”

It changed at 11:13 p.m. local time and 10:13 p.m. back in Milwaukee, where 31,000 fans filled the Brewers’ domed home to watch a game on the scoreboard that was played 1,200 miles away. Thousands more Milwaukee fans turned Tropicana Field into the Brewers’ home away from home all week, and watched live as the thing that they, their parents and their grandparents dreamed to see happen, actually happened.

Before Wednesday night, five current franchises had never won the World Series: the Brewers, Mariners, Padres, Rays and Rockies. Now there are four.

“I'm just really, really grateful, really thankful that we did it. Like who believed it?” said the Brewers’ 67-year-old manager, Pat Murphy. “There's so many things that led up to it now that I look back and see the years of getting eliminated or being beaten last year by the Dodgers. That was a blessing, because we learned from it and we grew, and we came in with a different attitude. We came in with a spirit about us, and we weren't going to be denied.”

This team took nothing lightly.

After winning a franchise-record and Major League-best 103 games in the regular season, they beat the Padres, baseball’s hottest second-half team, in the NLDS. Then they swept the Dodgers, who’d sent the Brewers home in the postseason three times in the previous eight years, in the NLCS. Then they drowned the Rays with suffocating pitching and relentless at-bats, brushing off a heartbreaking loss when the Brewers were just three outs away from the promised land, to finish the job a day later.

But the Brewers wrote the story themselves. 

They are World Series champions.

Brewers Watch Party

Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center is bringing the excitement of the World Series to the community with a free Watch Party. 

It's scheduled for Tuesday, October 27. Doors open at 6 p.m. 

Baseball fans, families, friends, and neighbors are invited to come together for an exciting evening of baseball, community pride, and fun as they cheer on the Milwaukee Brewers on the big screen.

It's free admission for all attendees. Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite bag chairs, wear their Brewers gear, and settle in for a great night of baseball.

The indoor event will feature:

  • Free admission for the entire community

  • Large-screen viewing with game-day sound

  • Baseball-style concessions provided by Washington County 4-H

  • Full bar service with beverages available for purchase

  • Fan giveaways and prizes

  • A fun, family-friendly atmosphere filled with Brewers spirit

"We wanted to create something special that brings our community together," said Gena Biertzer, Chief Executive Officer of Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center in a press release. "The Brewers have given Wisconsin so much to cheer about, and what better way to celebrate than bringing our neighbors, families, and friends together for a night of baseball? This is about community, connection, and creating memories right here in Washington County."

The event is hosted by the Washington County Agricultural and Industrial Society, the nonprofit organization that operates Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center.
