The Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to become the 2026 World Series champions. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectThe Milwaukee Brewers just won their first World Series title in franchise history, and the celebration got weird fast. Hitting coach Daniel Vogelbach took the mic on Friday night and sang “Stacy’s Mom” with a hoarse, cracking voice. This moment happened after the team defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday. Vogelbach did not just stumble into the spotlight. He promised to sing this song if the team made it to the celebration. According to the New York Post, he rolled his eyes when the music started but then agreed to perform. He told the crowd, “All right, if you guys really want this, we’re going to do it.” The coach held a Miller Lite in one hand while pacing in front of thousands of cheering fans. A Pledge Kept in Front of ThousandsThis was not a random karaoke choice. The New York Post reported that Vogelbach was following through on a specific pledge he made during the Game 5 celebration. He said he would sing the Fountains of Wayne hit once the Brewers left the stadium in St. Petersburg. The team finally reached that moment on Friday night in Milwaukee. The coach sounded tired, but the fans loved every off-key note. It showed the loose clubhouse culture that helped them score the second-most runs in baseball.The Brewers offense found a way to win even without massive power numbers. The team finished 28th in home runs but still managed to score the second-most runs in the league. Their third-best OPS in the majors came from a hitting mantra that Vogelbach understood well. He built his own career on getting on base rather than hitting long balls. His career .340 OBP helped him survive for eight seasons in the big leagues. Now he helped a team do the same to win the biggest prize.Babies and Championships in One WeekThe joy on the field spilled over into the lives of the players too. Two couples announced they are expecting babies right after the final out. Mallory and third baseman David Hamilton announced the news via social media. Mallory wrote, “Daddy’s good luck charm 🍀 & cherry on top of this amazing season,” in an Instagram post. She also posted, “What a year!!!! WORLD SERIES CHAMPS BABYYYYYY. Baby Hamilton 2027 #dadstrength.”Pitcher Dustin May and his wife Amelia made a similar announcement. This title marks May’s fourth career World Series win, but it is his first as an expecting father. With the Los Angeles Dodgers, he secured titles in 2020, 2024, and 2025. Amelia May shared that they will recount the 2026 World Series to Baby May for eternity. In December, the couple will mark their fourth wedding anniversary. Chaos and Legends on the Parade RouteThe parade itself was a mix of wild antics and deep respect for the past. The team had slept very little since the win on Wednesday. Pitcher Jacob Misiorowski told the New York Post that the group had slept “probably two, three hours.” Despite the lack of rest, the energy remained high. Misiorowski chugged a beer thrown from the sidewalk by a fan. Outfielder Garrett Mitchell even grabbed a baby from the crowd to pose for a photo.Hall of Famer Robin Yount rode onto the stage on a Harley to honor the moment. He is 71 years old and a legend of the franchise. Catcher William Contreras earned the 2026 World Series MVP award for his play.
