The Brewers’ World Series parade isn’t until Friday, but the celebration across Wisconsin is just beginning.
Led by veteran pitcher Brandon Woodruff, who strode in front hoisting the Commissioner’s Trophy, a cadre of Milwaukee players crashed Thursday night’s Packers-Panthers game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. After wrapping up the first World Series title in franchise history with a 4-1 win over the Rays in Game 5 on Wednesday, the Brewers contingent drew huge cheers from the home crowd.
Outfielder Sal Frelick, who hit the game-tying home run in Milwaukee’s Game 2 victory, couldn’t help but partake in a local tradition. Frelick pulled off a picture-perfect Lambeau Leap, jumping into the first row of the stands beyond the end zone. The Packers added some leaps of their own on Thursday, opening up a double-digit lead over the Panthers late in the first half.
It was the perfect preview for the Brewers’ Parade of Champions, which officially begins at 10 a.m. CT on Friday in Milwaukee.
