U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson introduced a formal Senate resolution celebrating the Milwaukee Brewers landmark World Series victory
In a show of bipartisan unity, U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) together introduced a formal Senate resolution celebrating the Milwaukee Brewers on their landmark 2026 Major League Baseball World Series victory. The championship victory marks the very first World Series title in franchise history and brings the Commissioner’s Trophy to Milwaukee for the first time since 1957. Both senators praised the team's exceptional season, highlighting the resilience, teamwork, and dedication that defined their historic run.
The Brewers capped an unforgettable year by securing a franchise-record 103 regular-season victories and claiming their fourth consecutive National League Central Division title. In the postseason, Milwaukee posted an impressive 11-2 record, sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers to capture their first pennant since 1982 before defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games to seal the championship. Senator Baldwin commended the squad for bringing immense pride to Wisconsin families, while Senator Johnson congratulated the players, coaches, staff, and long-devoted fans who waited over four decades for this monumental achievement.
Beyond honoring individual accolades—such as William Contreras earning World Series MVP, Jackson Chourio breaking World Series hit records, and Aaron Ashby's historic scoreless postseason innings—the resolution pays tribute to the broader Brewers community. It recognizes the hard work of front office leaders, stadium personnel, and support staff, as well as the unwavering loyalty of an estimated 750,000 fans who gathered in Milwaukee to join the championship parade. The official resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit enrolled copies to principal owner Mark Attanasio, general manager Matt Arnold, and manager Pat Murphy.
