Overview
The Milwaukee Brewers play at American Family Field, a retractable-roof stadium famous for the tailgating culture surrounding it and the beloved sausage race that entertains fans between innings. As the smallest media market with a full-time MLB franchise, the Brewers have built a loyal regional following and a reputation for competitive, well-run teams that punch above their payroll. Cream and navy blue have represented Wisconsin baseball for more than five decades.
History & Legacy
The franchise began in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots before relocating to Milwaukee after just one season to become the Brewers, initially in the American League before switching to the National League in 1998. Milwaukee's only World Series appearance came in 1982, when the "Harvey's Wallbangers" lineup fell to the Cardinals in seven games, and the franchise has since become a consistent NL Central contender behind stars like Robin Yount, Ryan Braun, and Christian Yelich, though a championship has remained out of reach.
