The Brewers’ victory marks the first World Series title in franchise history
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) introduced a bipartisan resolution congratulating the Milwaukee Brewers on winning the 2026 Major League Baseball World Series, the first championship in franchise history. The win marked the end of a historic season, including a franchise-record 103 regular-season victories and their fourth consecutive National League Central Division title.
“In a season for the history books, the Milwaukee Brewers brought so much pride to Milwaukee and the entire state of Wisconsin. Generations of Wisconsin families cheered on the Brew Crew, kids stayed up well past their bedtimes, and game after game, this team showed what it means to win the Wisconsin way – with resilience, teamwork, and grit. This was a season to remember, and it is a privilege to recognize and honor the team that made history and the fans who cheered them on every step of the way,” said Senator Baldwin.
“Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers’ players, coaches, and staff on their historic World Series victory. I am thrilled for this team and its loyal fans, who have waited more than 40 years for this moment,” said Senator Johnson. “Wisconsinites are proud to call the Brewers our own and to celebrate this historic achievement together. Go Brewers!”
The Brewers’ World Series victory marked the first championship in franchise history and Milwaukee’s first Major League Baseball championship since the Milwaukee Braves won the World Series in 1957. After finishing the regular season with a franchise-record 103 wins, the Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series and swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series to secure their first pennant since 1982. The Brewers finished the postseason with an 11-2 record, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games to bring the Commissioner’s Trophy home to Milwaukee.
The resolution also celebrates the unwavering support of Brewers fans across Wisconsin, including the estimated 750,000 fans who attended the team’s World Series championship parade, and recognizes the countless stadium workers and support staff who helped make the historic season possible.
