Do know how much legendary status you need to have for fans who’ve never experienced a World Series win to take the time from their celebrations to leave over 100 Miller Lite cans beside Bob Uecker’s statue last night. Glad to see Brewers fans treated him right last night and gave him his flowers while celebrating

22-year-old World Series icon Cooper Pratt just got his Diamond Parallel trading card… “This is the coolest thing I think I’ve ever seen.”
Each player in the Brewers’ 2026 World Series Champions Team Set has a Diamond Parallel trading card limited to 2 copies in existence. One copy will be inserted into a team set… The other will be gifted to the player inside a diamond chain during tonight’s clubhouse celebration 🔥💎
