Brewers win first World Series title, Yelich honors late Bob Uecker The Milwaukee Brewers captured their first World Series championship with a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5, and Christian Yelich dedicated the title to late broadcaster Bob Uecker. The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history. Milwaukee beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Oct. 28, 2026. The Brewers had never won a World Series before and entered this Fall Classic as one of just a few teams without a title. That is no longer the case. Christian Yelich, the longtime face of the franchise, spoke after the final out. I do not even know how to describe it, Yelich said.It is the best feeling ever. All of our fans are here. I know the city has waited a long, long time for this. We are so happy to bring it home to them.I cannot wait to get back there and celebrate. Man, I wish everyone could experience what this feels like. It feels amazing. I am so proud of this group of guys.Yelich Honors Late Voice Bob UeckerYelich also made sure to honor Bob Uecker, the beloved longtime voice of the Brewers who died on Jan. 16, 2025, at the age of 90 after a private battle with cancer. He is smiling, man, Yelich told Ken Rosenthal on the Fox broadcast. I really wish he could have been here to see this. It would have meant everything to him.We said a bunch. He has been with us a lot. We keep him close to our hearts, and this one is still for Bob and still for Ueck. Ueck, I love you, man, and we did it.Uecker was the voice of the Brewers for 54 years and became a beloved figure among Brewers supporters and baseball fans as a whole. During the Game 4 broadcast on Tuesday, Fox play-by-play man Joe Davis paid tribute to Uecker with his home run call on Cooper Pratt's solo blast in the 12th inning.Hitting a high drive, deep left field, get up, get up, gone, Davis said, emulating Uecker's signature call of get up, get up, get outta here, gone. Davis said Ueck is obviously a guy that you grew up listening to and was underrated because he was such a comic genius that his ability to master the craft and be an amazing play-by-play announcer did not get enough love.Brewers Playoff History Before Yelich ArrivalI say that to say I was always studying him and listening to him, and just by osmosis, that stuff is in there. Yelich arrived in Milwaukee when the franchise was far from the contender it is now. Before Yelich joined the organization, the Brewers had made the playoffs just twice since the club reached the World Series in 1982, in 2008 and 2011.With Yelich in the organization, Milwaukee has made the playoffs multiple times and now has a World Series title under its belt. Yelich came to town and helped change the culture. He is the captain for a reason and that goes far beyond just his play. He is a guy who simply gets it.Yelich continued his message to the fans after the win. We are coming home, baby, Yelich said. We cannot wait to see you. Cannot wait to celebrate.Your support has been everything to us this year. You were incredibly loud in the playoffs. I mean, it was almost a home game here for us in a World Series game, which was insane. We cannot wait to get back there and celebrate and enjoy this, baby.The championship run was not without heartbreak along the way. But the journey finally reached the top of the mountain. No one can take away what the 2026 Brewers just did. From here on out, the Brewers will always have a title under their belt.CC Sabathia Celebrates Brewers ChampionshipThe 2026 team will forever be in the record books. How can you not get romantic about baseball. Former Brewers pitcher CC Sabathia, who spent the 2008 season in Milwaukee, also honored Uecker after the win. Bob Uecker smiling down, Sabathia wrote.The Brewers finally shocked the world and they deserve all the revelry it comes with. Milwaukee handled the Rays in Game 5 to win the franchise's long-awaited first World Series crown. The celebration continued as players and fans alike soaked in the historic moment. Milwaukee designated hitter Christian Yelich, pitcher Trevor Megill and pitcher Abner Uribe were among those celebrating after winning Game 5 and the World Series.The Brewers will return home to Milwaukee to continue the celebration with their fans. For a city that waited decades for this moment, the party is just beginning.
