The Milwaukee Brewers continued celebrating their first World Series title at NFL and NBA games, joining supporters of the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Bucks after returning to Wisconsin.
Their first stop was Lambeau Field on Thursday, where Brandon Woodruff displayed the Commissioner’s Trophy during Green Bay’s meeting with the Carolina Panthers.
Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick were among the Brewers who appeared on the field to cheers from the crowd.
Frelick took the opportunity to perform a Lambeau Leap, joining fans in the front row of the stands for the celebration associated with Packers touchdowns.
The Packers went on to beat Carolina 27-19.
Two days later, Jackson Chourio, Cooper Pratt, Dustin May and Antonio Senzatela attended the Bucks’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Fiserv Forum.
The Brewers watched from courtside as Cleveland won 136-111.
Between those appearances, Milwaukee held its championship parade on Friday, bringing players, coaches and former Brewers together with fans in the city centre.
The celebrations followed Wednesday’s 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5, which secured a 4-1 World Series triumph.
Milwaukee won 11 of their 13 playoff games, including a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers that ended the defending champions’ pursuit of a third straight title.
It was the Brewers’ first World Series appearance since their seven-game defeat by the St Louis Cardinals in 1982.
Although the championship was a first for the franchise, Milwaukee had previously celebrated a World Series winner in 1957, when the Braves beat the New York Yankees before later relocating to Atlanta.
The Brewers now join the Bucks, who won the NBA title in 2021, among Wisconsin’s recent major sporting champions.
