Milwaukee Erupts at Brewers' First World Series Parade as Sal Frelick Promises 100,000 Beers

The Milwaukee Brewers have won the first World Series title in the franchise's history, beating the Tampa Bay Rays. Supporters were jubilant on Friday (30 October) at the team's victory parade and championship rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, held at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

The most talked-about moment of the celebration came from Brewers right fielder Sal Frelick. Taking the microphone, he screamed that he would have a beer for every single person there — declaring he would drink 100,000 beers.

The previous 24 hours had also been eventful for the 26-year-old Frelick. On Thursday night, when the Commissioner's Trophy was brought onto the field during the Green Bay Packers game, he performed the Lambeau Leap. In his Friday speech, he joked that team captain Christian Yelich could not tackle him like a football player either.

Frelick said his best friends are all on the team and that they hang out with each other around the clock off the field. That friendship was on display in the next moment, when the players convinced the event organizers to bring hitting coach Daniel Vogelbach onstage.

The players did not want a speech from Vogelbach; they wanted him to sing karaoke. As Fountains of Wayne's hit 'Stacy's Mom' blared through the speakers, Vogelbach immediately knew he had been set up.

Vogelbach then said that if everyone really wanted it, they would do it. He sang a couple of verses of the song. His singing voice was far from ideal, but the crowd and the players were jubilant, dancing and singing along with the hitting coach.

A moment between Frelick and pitcher Aaron Ashby was also captured at the rally, and Ashby encouraged Vogelbach as he sang. All told, Milwaukee was in a festive mood throughout the day after its first title.
