Tyrese Haliburton's breakup with the Brewers becomes official at Wrigley
The Wisconsin native's split from his hometown team traces back to a canceled invite after the Packers knocked out the Bucks in 2024. He hasn't forgotten.
Tyrese Haliburton, the injured Indiana Pacers point guard, officially ended his long-standing connection with the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on Thursday night. The Wisconsin native, who grew up a devoted Brewers fan, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the ballpark while wearing a Cubs jersey. Haliburton expressed his disappointment in a recent interview with the Pat McAfee Show, stating that he was once a devoted Brewers fan but was subsequently derailed when the team rescinded their invitation to throw out the first pitch after the Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs.
