The Milwaukee Brewers clinched the NL Central division title on Wednesday.
They secured their spot thanks to a Cubs loss earlier in the day and later celebrated with a thrilling 2-1 walk-off win against the Philadelphia Phillies. The locker room was filled with joy as the team marked this significant achievement.
During the celebration, Bob Uecker, who has been with the Brewers for 53 seasons, got a lot of love from manager Pat Murphy. “There is no one who epitomizes a champion like this man does,” Murphy said while praising Uecker. “I peed my pants,” Uecker joked before being showered with champagne .

Celebration Highlights:
Uecker’s long history with the Brewers includes playing for them in 1962 and 1963 before becoming their announcer in 1971. Fans must be thrilled to see such heartfelt moments during celebrations.
The Brewers also had some fun at Jackson Chourio’s expense by placing non-alcoholic beers in a stroller for him since he’s only 20 years old and can’t legally drink yet. Chourio has been crucial to Milwaukee’s success this season, boasting a .273 batting average, 21 home runs, and 77 RBIs so far. He even went 1-for-4 with a triple in Wednesday’s game.
