Cleveland to the Reds: 10 MLB teams still waiting on a World Series title
These MLB World Series droughts stretch across decades, from Cleveland's last title in 1948 to the Padres and Brewers, two 1969 franchises still without a championship
The Milwaukee Brewers celebrated their World Series championship victory on Friday morning, October 30, 2021, with a parade through downtown Milwaukee. Thousands of fans in blue and gold lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the team and their iconic trophy. The parade featured more than just the players, coaches, and staff – it also included elected officials, Brewers mascots, and other Milwaukee icons.
Elected officials, dressed in Brewers attire, waved from vehicles along the parade route. Governor Tony Evers, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who played a role in securing the team's future in Milwaukee through 2050, were among those who attended. Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson also made an appearance.
Former Brewers legends Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, and Ted Simmons, stars of the 1982 team that reached the World Series for the first time, were among those parading through the streets. Despite losing to the St. Louis Cardinals in a seven-game series, Milwaukee celebrated the team with a grand parade that ended at County Stadium. Ryan Braun, who played his entire career with the Brewers, ran around shaking hands and distributing autographs.
Ryan Braun's former teammate, Prince Fielder, lent his talents as a guest bartender at Draft & Co. on Wisconsin Avenue shortly after the parade began, serving beer to a large crowd. Other Milwaukee icons joined in on the festivities, including Bernie Brewer and Barrelman, dressed as World Series champions; Bucky Badger, the University of Wisconsin mascot; and Scoopie, the mascot from Culver's ice cream chain.
Foenem, the Milwaukee rapper behind the viral song "Milwaukee Brewers," was also part of the parade. He shared a video of himself riding atop a vehicle through the crowd on his Instagram story. The Brewers' World Series parade became a quintessential Milwaukee celebration, showcasing the city's pride in its beloved baseball team and its rich sports history.
