Fox Sports crafts tribute to Uecker, calling out World Series win with his words

The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 at Tropicana Field. Young ace Jacob Misiorowski threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings with two hits before leaving the game due to a right calf cramp. Rookie Cooper Pratt contributed two hits and two RBIs, setting a Series rookie record with six straight hits. Jackson Chourio also set a five-game Series record with 11 hits.

The victory marks the first championship for the franchise since its founding in 1969 and their first appearance in the Fall Classic in 44 years, according to the Japan Times. Brewers captain Christian Yelich expressed happiness regarding bringing the title home to the city.

Following the win, Fox Sports aired a tribute to the late Milwaukee Brewers announcer Bob Uecker. The segment featured postseason highlights overlaid with Uecker's iconic callouts to imagine how the title win would have sounded in his voice, according to Yahoo Sports.
