These Milwaukee Brewers are two games from immortality in World Series
Brewers have commanding lead in World Series. But they can't let up vs. Rays.
Milwaukee Brewers fans made a striking appearance at Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, Oct. 24, at American Family Field, wearing their team spirit with pride. Among the many fan creations was a unique blue and yellow cardigan and leg warmers designed by Kathy Lahay of Seymour. Lahay had been crafting her outfit since October, dedicating herself to completing it by the time of the postseason.
The significance of Lahay's outfit extended beyond the World Series. It was the same attire she wore when she was engaged to her fiancé, Karl Webster. Webster proposed to her before the game, outside the stadium near the Bob Uecker statue. He explained that a World Series proposal felt fitting since their first date had taken place during the postseason the previous year. Both fans, who are dedicated Brewers supporters, chose to don their team colors for the special occasion.
Other fans chose to stand out with original and creative outfits. Janelle Wilson of Saukville turned heads with her giant Polish sausage hat, which is part of a collection featuring all five racing sausages she created 18 years ago. Along with her hat, Wilson wore matching hair ties, a William Contreras jersey, Brewers overalls featuring Uecker's famous quote, and various pieces of Brewers logo jewelry.
She noted that she had attended about 50 games this season, including her daughter Makayla, who has "literally grown up in this stadium since she was a baby."
Some fan outfits carried deeper sentimental meanings alongside their team spirit. Richard Dennik of West Allis opted for pinstriped Brewers overalls with two photograph buttons attached. One button depicted his father, a long-time Brewers fan who passed away in 2023, while the other featured a picture of his mother and father. Dennik lost his mother in July, and he emphasized the importance of keeping her memory close to him.
He said, "Gotta bring them with, too. They're the ones that got me in love with the game. My dad was one of the biggest baseball fans I've ever known. He taught me everything that I know about it."
