The Brewers compete in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) as a member club of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League Central|Central Division]]. The team's name is derived from the city's association with the [[brewing industry]] and has been used by [[Milwaukee Brewers (disambiguation)|several other]] baseball teams that have called Milwaukee home.<ref name=history>{{cite web|title=Brewers Timeline 1970s|url=https://www.mlb.com/brewers/history/timeline-1970s|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Brewers.com|access-date=February 2, 2021}}</ref> Since 2001, the Brewers have played their home games at [[American Family Field]], which was named Miller Park through the 2020 season and has a seating capacity of 41,900 people. The team was founded as the [[Seattle Pilots]], an [[expansion team]] that joined the [[American League]] (AL) and began play in [[Seattle, Washington]], in [[1969 Major League Baseball season|1969]]. The Pilots played their home games at [[Sick's Stadium]]. After only one season, the team [[relocation of professional sports teams|relocated]] to Milwaukee, becoming known as the Brewers and playing their home games at [[Milwaukee County Stadium]]; they played in the [[American League East]] starting in 1972. In 1998, the Brewers joined the National League. They are the only franchise to play in four different divisions since the advent of divisional play in Major League Baseball in 1969. They are also one of two current MLB franchises to switch leagues in the modern era (1900βpresent); the other franchise is the [[Houston Astros]]. [[Rollie Fingers]] achieved the first [[Cy Young Award]] and [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award]] for the Brewers in 1981. That year, which became a [[split season]] caused by the [[1981 Major League Baseball strike]], saw the team reach the postseason for the first time in team history when they finished first in the second half of games played in the East. The following season, the Brewers won the East and then competed and won the [[1982 American League Championship Series]] (ALCS) against the [[California Angels]]. The Brewers faced off against the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] in the World Series, losing 4β3 in their only appearance in the series. They are one of only five current MLB teams that have never won the World Series. The Brewers are also the oldest MLB team to never win the World Series along with the [[San Diego Padres]] and, at 55 seasons, have the second-longest active championship drought in the MLB behind the [[Cleveland Guardians]].<ref name="Perry 2023">{{cite news |last1=Perry |first=Dayn |author-link=Dayn Perry |date=November 1, 2023 |title=Which MLB teams have never won World Series?

In total, the Brewers have won one AL pennant, seven division titles, and qualified for the postseason as a [[Major League Baseball Wild Card|wild card]] three times.

They would continue to play in the West Division for two more years. Before the beginning of the 1972 season the Brewers agreed to switch over to the American League East to make room for the Texas Rangers who, as the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Washington Senators]], had relocated from Washington, DC. Beginning in 1994, due to divisional realignment, the Brewers moved to the newly created American League Central division. In all, the Brewers were part of the [[American League]] from their creation in 1969 through the 1997 season, after which they moved to the [[National League Central Division]]. Milwaukee had previously been a [[National League (baseball)|National League]] city when its team was the [[Milwaukee Braves]] (1953β1965). It had also been an American League city, albeit briefly, when the original [[Milwaukee Brewers (1894β1901)|Milwaukee Brewers]] became an AL charter team in 1901 before moving to St. Louis to become the [[Saint Louis Browns|Browns]] the following season. Between 1902 and 1952, Milwaukee was home to the [[Milwaukee Brewers (minor league baseball team)|Milwaukee Brewers]] of the [[American Association (20th century)|American Association]] (AAA) and the [[Milwaukee Bears]] of the [[Negro National League (1920β1931)|Negro National League]]. Both clubs played at [[Borchert Field]]. In 1981, Milwaukee won the [[American League East Division]] in the second half of the strike-shortened season. [[Rollie Fingers]] became the first Brewer and first relief pitcher in the history of the [[American League]] to win the [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|MVP Award]].<ref>''Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures'', 2008 Edition, p. 152, David Nemec and Scott Flatow, A Signet Book, Penguin Group, New York, {{ISBN|978-0-451-22363-0}}</ref> In the playoffs, they lost the [[1981 American League Division Series|Division Series]] to the [[New York Yankees]], three games to two. In 1982, Milwaukee, led by AL MVP [[Robin Yount]], won the [[American League East Division]] and the American League Pennant, earning their first [[World Series]] appearance and only American League pennant. In the [[1982 World Series|Series]], they lost to the [[1982 St. Louis Cardinals season|St. Louis Cardinals]] in seven games. This ended up being the last playoff appearance for the team for over two decades, which saw them win 90 games just twice prior to their move away from the AL. In 1998, the Brewers relocated to the [[National League (baseball)|National League]]. The 2007 season saw them miss out on the NL Central title by two games, their closest finish to a division title since 1988 and also their first winning season since 1992. In 2008, under interim manager [[Dale Sveum]] (who won seven of 12 games) for the first time in the 26 years since their World Series appearance, the Brewers advanced to postseason play by winning the [[Major League Baseball wild card|National League wild card]]. They were eliminated in the [[2008 National League Division Series|National League Division Series]] by the eventual [[2008 World Series|World Series]] champion [[2008 Philadelphia Phillies season|Philadelphia Phillies]]. On September 23, 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first division title in 29 years. They won the [[2011 National League Division Series|National League Division Series]] in five games over the [[2011 Arizona Diamondbacks season|Arizona Diamondbacks]], but lost the [[2011 National League Championship Series|National League Championship Series]]<ref name="history" /> to the eventual [[2011 World Series|World Series]] champion [[2011 St. Louis Cardinals season|St. Louis Cardinals]] in six games.

This tie was broken on October 1, when the Brewers defeated the Cubs 3β1 in the [[2018 National League Central tie-breaker game|NL Central tiebreaker]] to improve to 96β67 and win the division by one game. They went on to defeat the [[2018 Colorado Rockies season|Colorado Rockies]] 3β0 to win the [[2018 National League Division Series|NLDS]], but in the following [[2018 National League Championship Series|NLCS]], they lost out to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] in 7 games. In 2019, the Brewers returned to the postseason and made an appearance in the [[2019 National League Wild Card Game|National League Wild Card Game]], where they were defeated by the eventual World Series champion [[2019 Washington Nationals season|Washington Nationals]] 4β3. In 2020, the club made the postseason for a third consecutive year, making the expanded Playoffs as the 8th seed losing both games to the eventual champion Dodgers.

Because the move to Milwaukee received final approval less than a week before the start of the season, there was no time to order new uniforms. Selig had originally planned to change the Brewers' colors to navy blue and red in honor of the [[Minor League Baseball|minor league]] [[American Association (20th century)|American Association's]] [[Milwaukee Brewers (American Association)|Milwaukee Brewers]] (and are the colors of the [[Braves]]),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/april-7-1970-milwaukee-brewers-make-their-debut-county-stadium|title = April 7, 1970: Milwaukee Brewers make their debut at County Stadium β Society for American Baseball Research}}</ref> but was forced to simply remove the Seattle markings from the Pilots' blue-and-gold uniforms and sew "BREWERS" on the front. However, the outline of the Pilots' logo remained visible. The uniforms had unique striping on the sleeves left over from the Pilots days. The cap was an updated version of the Milwaukee Braves cap: solid blue, with a yellow block "M" on the front. Ultimately, it was decided to keep blue and gold as the team colors, and they have remained so ever since (even though the team darkened the shades of both colors in 1994). The Brewers finally got their own flannel design in 1971, but only for their home jerseys. This design was essentially the same as the one used in 1970, but with blue and yellow piping on the sleeves and collar. Meanwhile, the road jerseys did not add the trim around the collar and kept the wide-banded striping on the sleeves from the Pilots era. Additionally, player numbers were added to the front of both jerseys for 1971. In 1972, the Brewers entered the double-knit era with uniforms based upon their flannels: all white with "BREWERS" on the front and blue and yellow trim on the sleeves, neck, waistband and down the side of the pants; the uniform took on the form of a pullover jersey and an elastic waistband. The road uniforms remained blue, although a darker shade than those of 1970 and '71. In 1974, a yellow-paneled cap was added to the road uniforms, and the "sanitation sock" on the road uniforms were also changed from white to yellow. This is the uniform that [[Hank Aaron]] wore with the club in his final seasons and that Robin Yount wore in his first. During this period, the logo of the club was the [[Beer Barrel Man]], which had been used by the previous minor league Brewers since at least the 1940s. The Brewers mascot, [[Bernie Brewer]] (a man with a large yellow mustache wearing a Brewers hat) was introduced in 1973.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/mil/fan_forum/bernie_brewer.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070419181621/http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/mil/fan_forum/bernie_brewer.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 19, 2007|title=Bernie Brewer|website=MLB.com|access-date=November 23, 2018}}</ref> ===1978β1993=== [[File:Mike Felder Brewers.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|Milwaukee's home uniform design in the 1980s as worn by [[Mike Felder]]]] The Brewers unveiled new uniforms for the 1978 season. The uniforms continued to use the pullover jersey/beltless pants combo, and featured pinstripes with a solid-blue collar and waistband. The road uniforms continued to be powder blue, but for the first time the city name, "Milwaukee", graced the chest in an upward slant in script form (It was the first time "Milwaukee" appeared on any MLB jersey; the [[Braves]] never displayed the city name on their road jerseys during their 13 seasons in the city). In addition, the Brewers introduced the [[Milwaukee Brewers ball-in-glove logo|ball-in-glove logo]] that contained an "M" and "B" in the shape of a baseball glove. The logo was designed by Tom Meindel, an art history student at the [[University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire]]. The home cap was solid blue, and the road cap was blue with a yellow front panel. Additionally, their batting helmets had a white front panel. The club wore these uniforms in their pennant-winning season of 1982. Only minor changes were made until 1990; the color of the road uniforms changed to gray in 1985 while the blue-yellow-blue road cap and white-paneled batting helmets were abandoned at the same time. In 1990, the Brewers made significant modifications to their uniforms, switching from pullover to button-down jerseys (the last American League team to do so; four National League teams still wore pullovers in 1990). Their individual uniforms showed other changes as well; at home, the blue piping was removed and the block lettered "BREWERS" was changed to a script version with a tail similar to the script used on road uniforms, while those outfits had their piping changed from blue-yellow-blue to blue-yellow. The road jerseys were the first uniforms in franchise history to feature player names on the back, introduced in the first year of this uniform set; names were added to the home jerseys beginning in 1993, the last year of this set. ===1994β1999=== In 1994, to commemorate the Brewers' 25th year in Milwaukee, the team completely redesigned their uniforms. The ball-in-glove logo was removed and replaced with a stylized interlocking "M" and "B" set on a pair of crossed bats and a diamond background. The royal blue changed to navy blue, while the yellow changed to a metallic gold. Forest green was added as a third color. The jerseys swapped pinstripes for retro-themed piping around the collar, buttons, and sleeves, following a trend that was popular in the 1990s. The uniforms' lettering had the same style of letters as the new cap logo with heavily stylized "BREWERS" lettering on the home jerseys and "MILWAUKEE" on the road grays. For the first time, an alternative jersey was introduced. It was navy blue with the home "BREWERS" lettering on the front and featured the Brewers' logo on the lower left side. On all three jerseys, the first and last letters were larger than the rest. The caps featured the interlocking "MB" logo (without the bats or diamond) on both the home and away versions. The home cap was completely navy blue, while the away cap featured a navy blue crown and a forest green bill. In 1997, the uniforms were slightly modified, with the main logo being removed from the caps and replaced with an "M". All navy caps were worn with both the home and away uniforms; the home hats featured a white "M" and the road caps had a gold "M." The green socks that had previously been worn on the road were changed to navy blue. The blue alternate jersey placed the player's number on the lower left side instead of the logo, and numbers were also added to the lower left side of the white and gray jerseys. Also, all letters were made the same size. ===2000β2019=== {{multiple image | direction = vertical | footer = Uniforms in the 2000s and 2010s | footer_align = left | image1 = Prince Rickie.jpg | alt1 = | width1 = 300px | image2 = Prince Fielder on August 2, 2010 (cropped).jpg | alt2 = | width2 = }} Before the 2000 season, to coincide with the anticipated opening of Miller Park, the Brewers changed their uniforms again. The block letters on the front were replaced with "Brewers" in a flowing script, and green was removed as the third color. The cap logo was a script "M", similar in style to the Miller logo, with a head of barley underlining it, symbolizing Milwaukee's beer-making industry. The home uniforms also featured a patch on the left sleeve consisting of the cap logo with a gold outline of the state of Wisconsin behind it, showing the Brewers statewide appeal. The road uniforms were grey and featured the same script "Brewers" on the front, with a simple patch on the left sleeve bearing a script "Milwaukee". There was also an alternate navy blue jersey that had the same features as the home jersey. The debut of the new uniforms was supposed to coincide with the opening of Miller Park, but a [[Big Blue Crane collapse|crane collapse]] in July 1999 which killed three workers and damaged the incomplete stadium delayed its opening until 2001. In 2006, the Brewers introduced Retro Sundays, when the Brewers would wear uniforms featuring the "ball-in-glove" logo. The uniforms are similar to the uniforms worn from 1978 to 1989, but with some modern modifications, such as the uniforms having a button-down front instead of being a pullover jersey, displaying players' last names on the backs of the jerseys, and a "ball-in-glove" logo patch on the left sleeve. In 2007, the Retro day was changed from Sunday to Friday, though they may also be worn outside of those days if a [[starting pitcher]] chooses the retro uniforms to wear during his start. In 2010, the Brewers debuted a new alternate road jersey which, like the other alternate jersey, is navy blue, but bears a script "Milwaukee" on the front. In 2013, a gold alternate jersey with "Brewers" on the front was introduced, as well. During the off-season before the 2013 season, the Brewers allowed fans to design their own Milwaukee Brewers uniforms. Three finalists were chosen, which fans were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite through the Brewers website. The winning uniform was designed by Ben Peters of Richfield, Minnesota, and was worn by the Brewers for two spring training games.<ref>{{cite web|last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Finalists announced for designing Brewers uniform|url=http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130115&content_id=40968782&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130118052253/http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130115&content_id=40968782&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 18, 2013|work=MLB.com|access-date=January 15, 2013}}</ref> In 2016, the Brewers replaced their road navy and home gold alternates with a new navy alternate jersey. The uniform is similar to the previous road navy alternate but with yellow replacing gold as the trim color, and is paired with a navy cap featuring the "ball-and-glove" logo. From 2017 to 2019, both alternate navy uniforms were used for both home and away games, and each were worn more often than the traditional white and gray tops. ===2020βpresent=== On November 18, 2019, the Brewers published "Glove Story",<ref name=" BrewersGloveStory" /> a series of videos and written work showcasing the new branding of the team, with a uniform unveiling event at Miller Park occurring the same evening. The look throws back to past iterations of designs used for the team, with a modernized version of the classic "[[Milwaukee Brewers ball-in-glove logo|ball-in-glove]]" logo being the centerpiece of the new identity. The navy blue from the previous logo and uniform set was retained, but the metallic gold was replaced with mustard gold, and royal blue was returned to the team's color scheme for the first time since 1993. The set included a cream home uniform with "Brewers" and numbers in stylized block letters (a nod to Milwaukee's "Cream City" nickname), a home alternate pinstriped white uniform which shares the same features as the cream uniforms, a grey road uniform with "Milwaukee" and numbers in stylized block letters, and a road alternate navy uniform with "Milwaukee" in script letters and numbers in stylized block letters. The home sleeve patch features a navy baseball with stylized barley seams, while the road sleeve patch features the gold Wisconsin map with [[Cream City brick]]s and a baseball to represent Milwaukee's location. Initially, the gold-paneled navy cap was only used with the navy alternate uniform whereas the other uniforms were paired with the all-navy cap. However, beginning in 2022, the alternate gold-paneled cap was used exclusively on the road, with the all-navy cap worn only on home games. Both designs have the modernized "ball-in-glove" logo in front.<ref>{{cite news|last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Ball-in-glove is back: Brewers unveil new unis |url=https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/brewers-new-uniforms-2020|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Brewers.com|date=November 18, 2019|access-date=November 18, 2019}}</ref> In 2022, the Brewers added a "City Connect" uniform in conjunction with [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]].

[[Bob Uecker]], a winner of the [[Ford C. Frick Award]] from the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]], joined the Brewers in 1970, when the team moved from Seattle, and served as the team's play-by-play broadcaster for 54 seasons from 1971 until his death after the 2024 season. Jeff Levering and Lane Grindle served alongside Uecker.

Powell in turn replaced [[Pat Hughes (sportscaster)|Pat Hughes]], who departed to do play-by-play for the Cubs on WGN in 1996. The Brewers radio broadcasts usually featured a 2-2-2-1-2 format where Uecker did solo play-by-play for the first, middle and last 2 innings, while Levering did innings 3-4 and 7, and both doing analysis throughout and varied presentation for extra innings games. Starting with the 2014 season Uecker cut back on the number of road games he works due to health concerns, mainly involving West Coast trips and distant road games in [[Colorado Rockies|Colorado]] and [[Atlanta Braves|Atlanta]]; Block handled the play-by-play, with former Brewer and Met [[Darryl Hamilton]] on color for the first series at Atlanta.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/242753521.html|title=Bob Uecker says he will cut back on workload|last=Haudricort|first=Tom|date=January 30, 2014|work=Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel|access-date=April 12, 2014}}</ref> Select daytime home games were formerly broadcast in Spanish over [[Waukesha, Wisconsin|Waukesha]]-licensed [[ESPN Deportes Radio]] affiliate [[WGKB|WRRD]] (1510), with Jaime Cano serving as play-by-play announcer. In 2017 the station was purchased by another party which instituted an English-language talk format, effectively ending that arrangement. Most of the team's television broadcasts air on [[FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin]]. [[Brian Anderson (sportscaster)|Brian Anderson]], who has worked on [[The Golf Channel]], took over as the [[List of Milwaukee Brewers broadcasters|Brewers' play-by-play announcer]] for the 2007 season. He replaced [[Daron Sutton]], who joined the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]]. The color commentator is [[Bill Schroeder (baseball)|Bill Schroeder]], a former major league catcher who played six of his eight seasons for the Brewers. As of 2014 Schroeder is in his 20th season as the Brewers' color commentator. The 2010 season was the first year where all of Fox Sports Wisconsin's games were broadcast in [[high-definition television|high definition]]. Anderson (who also is a part of [[MLB on TBS|TBS]] playoff coverage) also provided play-by-play for the 2011 NLCS due to [[Ernie Johnson Jr.|Ernie Johnson]] stepping aside for the year due to a medical situation with his son.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/story/2011-09-27/tbs-baseball-playoffs/50573922/1|title=Family situation keeps TBS' Ernie Johnson from MLB playoffs|last=Heistand|first=Michael|date=September 27, 2011|work=[[USA Today]] |pages=C3|access-date=October 8, 2011}}</ref> Since 2014, as Anderson's [[Turner Sports]] duties have increased along with the addition of NCAA college basketball and [[NBA on TNT]] play-by-play duties, [[Wisconsin Badgers]] football and men's college basketball radio announcer [[Matt Lepay]] has served as play-by-play man on days when Anderson has other assignments for Turner Sports.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://fox6now.com/2014/03/19/matt-lepay-to-do-play-by-play-on-35-brewers-telecasts/|title=Matt Lepay to do play-by-play on 35 Brewers telecasts|last=Pipines|first=Tom|date=March 19, 2013|publisher=[[WITI (TV)|WITI]]|access-date=April 12, 2014}}</ref> In 2022, Levering became the primary play-by-play television announcer with Anderson now calling only 50 games per season due to increased duties with both MLB and the NBA national broadcasts. In October 2024, as a result of [[Diamond Sports Group#Bankruptcy|bankruptcy proceedings involving former broadcaster Diamond Sports Group]], [[MLB Local Media|Major League Baseball's local media division]] announced that it would take over the production and distribution of Brewers games starting with the 2025 season, with no changes in personnel, as all on-air staff are employed by the Brewers themselves.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MLB to produce and distribute local games for Guardians, Brewers, and Twins in 2025 |url=https://www.mlb.com/press-release/press-release-mlb-to-produce-and-distribute-local-games-for-guardians-brewers-and-twins-in-2025 |access-date=2024-10-09 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref> However, on December 31, 2024, the Brewers announced that they would return to FanDuel Sports Network for the 2025 season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 31, 2024 |last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Brewers reach deal to remain with Diamond for TV broadcasts |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-fanduel-announce-telecast-rights-agreement-for-2025 |access-date=December 31, 2024 |work=MLB.com}}</ref> From 2007 to 2011, the Brewers and FSN Wisconsin subcontracted to [[Weigel Broadcasting]] a package of 15 games and one spring training game over-the-air on [[WMLW-CA]] (then-Channel 41/58.2) in Milwaukee each season with FSN Wisconsin producing the telecasts and Weigel selling air time for each of those games and additional games added depending on weather postponements and pennant race standings (WMLW-CA games would air on the outstate FSN Wisconsin network for the remainder of the state). The deal was ended before the 2012 season in order to facilitate full-season HD coverage on FSN Wisconsin and distribution complications, along with the addition of a "Plus" channel for [[Milwaukee Bucks]] play-by-play conflict situations. Weigel continues to air a few Sunday home broadcasts per year with Spanish language play-by-play on [[Telemundo]] affiliate [[WYTU-LD]] (Channels 63/58.4), which produces their own broadcasts using FSN's camera positions with [[Hector Molina]] on play-by-play and bilingual WDJT sports anchor Kevin Holden on color.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/team/broadcasters.jsp?c_id=mil|title=Brewers team broadcasters page|access-date=April 13, 2014}}</ref> Five of the six major network television stations in Milwaukee, along with WMLW-CA, have carried game broadcasts over the years, with [[WTMJ-TV]] being the original broadcaster in the 1970s. [[WVTV]] carried the team for the bulk of the 1980s and early 1990s, with [[WCGV-TV]] following from 1994 until 2004, and [[WISN-TV]] carrying select Sunday games at the beginning of the 2000s. Before 2025, [[WITI (TV)|WITI]] was the only station not to have carried local coverage of the team through its history (though former WITI sports anchor and current [[Milwaukee Bucks|Bucks]] play-by-play man [[Jim Paschke]] was the team's TV announcer during its time with WVTV and portions of WCGV's coverage contract), although it has aired national games from [[MLB on CBS|CBS]] and [[MLB on Fox|Fox]] involving the Brewers through the years. On March 19, 2025, the team announced that through a deal made with WTMJ owner [[Good Karma Brands]] and FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, WITI, along with a state network of stations within the team's territory, would carry three spring training and ten regular season games in the 2025 season locally in a simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Fox6 Milwaukee to simulcast 10 Brewers regular season games|publisher=MLB.com|date=12 March 2025|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-announce-broadcast-partnership-with-good-karma-brands|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== {{Commons category|Milwaukee Brewers}} * {{MLBTeam|Milwaukee|Brewers|MIL}} * [https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/_/name/mil/milwaukee-brewers Milwaukee Brewers] at [[ESPN]] * [http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers-team Milwaukee Brewers] at [[FOX Sports]] {{s-start-collapsible|header={{s-ach|ach}}}} {{succession box | before = [[New York Yankees]]<br />[[1981 American League Championship Series|1981]] | title = American League champions | years = [[1982 American League Championship Series|1982]] | after = [[Baltimore Orioles]]<br />[[1983 American League Championship Series|1983]]}} {{S-end}} {{Milwaukee Brewers}} {{Navboxes|titlestyle = {{Baseball primary style|Milwaukee Brewers|border=2}};|list1= {{Milwaukee Brewers retired numbers}} {{MLB}} {{National League}} {{American League}} {{Wisconsin Sports}} }} {{Portal bar|Baseball}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Milwaukee Brewers| ]] [[Category:Major League Baseball teams]] [[Category:Cactus League]] [[Category:Baseball in Milwaukee]] [[Category:Baseball teams established in 1969]]
