The Milwaukee Brewers captured their first championship in 57 years, a milestone marked by a ceremonial first pitch from Hall of Famer Robin Yount to former star Ryan Braun before Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 13, 2025, at American Family Field.
The historic moment came as the franchise celebrated a long-awaited title, ending a drought that stretched back to the team's inception. Yount, the Brewers' all-time leader in hits, games played, and numerous other categories, handed the ball to Braun, the 2011 National League MVP, in a symbolic passing of the torch before the postseason opener.
The NLCS matchup against the Dodgers represented the Brewers' deepest playoff run in decades, capping a season that delivered the championship the organization and its fans had pursued for more than half a century.
