If you’ve ever wondered how to say “Brewers” in Polish, look no further.
The Klement’s Racing Sausages, who compete at every home game in the middle of the sixth inning and celebrate their 20th anniversary of live racing on June 27, have taken turns being honored this season, and Sunday was all about Stosh, the Polish sausage.
The Brew Crew donned red and white uniforms, the color of Poland’s flag, and instead of “Brewers” across the chest, the jerseys read “Piwowarzy,” the Polish translation.
Fans in attendance were also given Polish Sausage bobbleheads.

In Sunday tradition, the mini-sausages finished the second leg of the race - the Brat ending up victorious - but the day was really about Milwaukee’s Polish ancestry.
I know what I’m having for lunch.
