Brewers Championship Parade: Robin Yount's touching thoughts

Thanks for being with us. Brian Poulsen has Robin Young. I've been a fan of Wisconsin and Brewer fans for a long time. And all of us have been waiting for this day. And I expected nothing less of the fans. You know, this is, this means a lot to the brewers, past brewers, Mr. Selig that brought the brewers here to Milwaukee. You know, this is, this means a lot to the brewers, past brewers, Mr. Selig that brought the brewers here to Milwaukee. You know, this is, this means a lot to the brewers, past brewers, Mr. Selig that brought the brewers here to Milwaukee. You know, this is, this means a lot to the brewers, past brewers, Mr. Selig that brought the brewers here to Milwaukee. You know, this means a lot to the brewers, past brewers, Mr. Selig that brought the brewers here to Milwaukee. But I still say the fans of Wisconsin, it means as much to them as any of us. And that's why you have something like this. The turnout the way it is, this is Wisconsin. And I know it means a lot to fans that you are still so connected and so a part of this organization and this community. To see this finally happen after all of these years, just for you personally, how does that feel? It's, to be honest, it's amazing. A bit of a weight off our shoulders, you know, not just me, but other players on that 82 team that got as close as we did, but fell one game short. So, you know, we've carried that with us a long time. And I've told some of the players on this team that, you know, they've made a lot of old Brewer players happy people. I almost feel like you know they've They've put a little piece in our life that we've held for a long time. You know, for 44 years, you and Paul Molitor and so many others have been the legends of Brewers baseball, and now there's going to be a new generation. Forty-four 44 years from now, who do you think fans are going to be talking about when they look back at Brewers greats? Well, I hope a whole bunch of other World Championship teams that have happened, you know, since this one. I hope this isn't the last by any means, you know. Sometimes in sports, and maybe in anything in life, that first one's always the toughest. And who knows, this may create some history here in Milwaukee that It won't take as long to repeat, I hope. I've noticed when I ask fans today, who would you put on your Mount Rushmore of Milwaukee Brewers after this season? Because people will say Robin Yount, they'll say Paul Molitor, they'll say Ryan Braun. But I say after this season, and they have a hard time because this is one of those teams that doesn't seem to have a single standout star. I mean, you've got the captain, Christian Yelich, but you've got so many other people you could name Who people say could have been the most valuable player, this is really a team. It certainly was a team effort, there's no doubt about it. You don't win World Series titles with one guy. Baseball just doesn't revolve around one guy. It's clearly a pitching staff and defense and offense. It's a collection. I mean it's a team game. You know in basketball it seems like that one guy can make a huge difference. One guy can't make a huge difference in baseball. So you know that was 24, 5 or 6 whatever the roster is these days. That Gelled together, had the right chemistry, had a leader not only in the manager, Pat Murphy, who kind of made this whole team go, but then you had the clubhouse leader in Christian Yelich. It was the type of team that, I mean, this is the definition of team, this team. And again, it's just a great, great feeling to... You say that the Brewers are world champions. Sounds awful good to me. I think it sounds awful good to an awful lot of people, as you can see around here. Last thing I want to ask you about is the one guy we know who couldn't be here, Bob Uecker. A couple of years ago, when the Mets had that shocking end to the Brewers' season, and we found out it was going to be Ueck's last broadcast, there were a lot of tears, a lot of shaky voices. Nobody knew then what was going to come just two years later. Can you talk about, first of all, Losing Yount before this happened, but how it feels knowing that so many people are honoring him through this process? We didn't lose Yount. He's here. He's here. I know he's here. I threw out the first pitch. I felt him all over me. Why do you think that pitch went just a bit outside? There you go. I didn't try to do that. That just happened. Somebody was there. He was here for all of this. He's here right now. You can't get rid of him. Robin Yount, thank you so much. Congratulations.
