Brewers Championship Parade: Fans get up-close moments with team

Guys, you know what's funny? I've been thinking about, I've been seeing them drinking alcohol. There's a lot of these Brewers players, they're so young, they've only been legally allowed to drink for a year or two. I remember Jackson Chourio in one of the past post-seasons had to drink grape, the sparkling grape juice, just a reminder of how young the Brewers are. But how talented they are, and they put together the perfect team. And we made connection, eye connection with the players. They are taking in each and every face. They are not all of this. They are soaking it up. You know, you see so many people, and you think maybe they're not connecting. They're connecting with these moments. They're having thousands of moments. It's just great to be here. There is not a ledge in Milwaukee, too, that's not been claimed. Somebody was brave enough to walk, quite illegal I should add, up on 794 a minute ago to try and get a view. Not advised that Lewis is no longer there. Oh and we got the Miz is now racing down the street to cheers. The Miz is going crazy in front of us guys if you can get that. And it's so great that they've been able to get off a bus and have the moments, and here comes the World Series trophy! D.L. Hall holding it, Joey Ortiz is going just crazy. Fans have waited a lifetime for this moment, and the Brewers know it. What is the feeling? It is grateful. Someone's holding a Journal Sentinel front page in front of me. It says, Undeniable, and that is this team. Nobody could beat this team throughout the regular season, and when it got to the postseason, nobody really could beat them. It was interesting hearing from one of the Tampa Bay Rays pitchers, their star pitcher, saying, You know, this is the best team I've faced, not this year, but maybe the past seven years. Garrett Mitchell giving high fives to the crowd. Oh, we're holding a baby. Ted, Ted, we got a baby. Ted and Tim, take it away. Always popular. Yeah, Garrett Mitchell doesn't have to run for anything. He's popular enough as it is. Guys, as we come back here, a real poignant moment a few moments ago. We had Robin Yount and Paul Molitor and Ted Simmons, but Robin Yount riding in a car separately from those guys. And Tim purposely wanted to stop where we are and get a photograph in front of the Bob Uecker mural. It was quite a moment. Yeah, obviously, Robin Yount, 1982 World Series hero, riding, here's the video of Paul Molitor going through moments ago, Robin Yount was two cars ahead of that, and they were trying to make up a little ground, you could tell they were moving through, and Robin told his driver, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, I want this picture on the back of my car with the Bob Uecker mural behind me. That was an organic moment which clearly indicated what was on his mind in this situation. And the crowd knew. The crowd understood the significance of it. And I think we're kind of moved by it, quite frankly. We have a little bit of a dead period right here. Without that, but it was really something to see. And this is the aforementioned Bob Uecker mural, which is right here at the corner of Mason and Jackson, which we are calling Jack Jack today in honor of Jackson Churio. That is, of course, Pat Murphy's nickname for Jackson. And Paul Molitor, as we said, was just two cars behind Robin Yount. Inappropriate. Those guys, of course, were so associated as a tandem, really. Batman and Robin, the Igniter, the 1982 team. And Paul Molitor was soaking up this experience as well. Of course, he played elsewhere later in his career. He managed in the major leagues, but had a chance to catch up a little bit and talk with him during this playoff run, and he just said how important Milwaukee was to his growth as an individual, not merely as a baseball player, but as a man. And there's a shot of Pat Murphy, who's yet to come by, and you know he's going to want a picture of him and Bob Uecker together again. There is a picture, a couple pictures of him. And Uke celebrating in a champagne, one of those champagne celebrations, it is right there above Pat Murphy's desk in his office. And no one has done a better job of keeping Bob Uecker ...connected to this team and to this season than Pat Murphy. He's been at the front of that for two seasons now and has made sure that even in his national media gatherings, he brings up Bob Uecker and the importance that he thinks Bob Uecker still has on this team. And, of course, this year the Brewers won a playoff game over the Padres. A ball hit the wire up there at American Family Field at the top of the stadium. And, you know, the first thing so many people said was, Well, that was Bob kind of. Nudging the ball down. Pat Murphy went right with that storyline. Sure, that's good. I have a letter. He begins so many post-game celebrations saying, I got a letter from you. I got a text from you. And we are still waiting. The crowd here, there's that gap between the 82 guys, Simmons and Molitor and Robin Yount, and we're waiting for more players to come by. So there's a little bit. Of a calmness right here. What do they call that in New York? The Canyon of Heroes, is that right? That's kind of the feel I have right here. Right now with nobody on the road, Pat Murphy about to make his way through. You still have a lot of people waiting around. You have the ticker tape floating through the air. You have Bob Uecker looking down on the scene. It's quite, it strikes you.
