Brewers fans to flood Milwaukee streets for a long-awaited World Series victory parade

The Milwaukee Brewers, following their first-ever World Series victory, traveled to Green Bay to celebrate with the local community. After their triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays, the team arrived in Milwaukee on Thursday, and made their way to Lambeau Field for the first half of the Green Bay Packers' game against the Carolina Panthers.

As a brief intermission occurred during the first quarter, several Brewers players emerged from the tunnel, holding the World Series trophy high, eliciting cheers from the Lambeau Field crowd. The team's celebration, however, was briefly interrupted when right fielder Sal Frelick joined ESPN's Sportscenter for an interview while on the bus en route to Green Bay.

Frelick candidly shared that the team had been busy with little sleep and long travel hours since their World Series win. Once in Lambeau Field, Frelick decided to participate in the Lambeau Leap, jumping into the stands as part of the first-quarter break. The Packers also capitalized on the opportunity, with Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard scoring a one-yard touchdown and leaping into the crowd in celebration. The Brewers are set to celebrate their victory with a parade through downtown Milwaukee on Friday.
