Brewers’ Championship Photo Just Got Printed on a Must-Have Shirt

The Milwaukee Brewers have won the first World Series championship in franchise history.

Here is the roster that made it happen.

AARON ASHBY — Pitcher, No. 26

Aaron Ashby was drafted by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2018 MLB draft.

He made his MLB debut for the Brewers in 2021 as a starting pitcher.

He ultimately became a major part of Milwaukee's bullpen in 2024.

During the 2026 regular season, Ashby finished with a 13-3 record.

He posted a 3.12 ERA and recorded 116 strikeouts.

In the postseason, Ashby pitched 18 scoreless innings.

He struck out a team-best 20 hitters.

He allowed a team-best .089 opponent batting average.

Ashby pitched against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series at American Family Field on Oct. 23.

JAKE BAUERS — First Baseman, No. 9

Jake Bauers was a journeyman his entire career before landing with the Brewers.

He was drafted in the seventh round by the San Diego Padres in 2013.

He made his MLB debut in 2018 for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Bauers went on to play for the Cleveland Guardians, Seattle Mariners, and New York Yankees from 2019 to 2023.

He was traded to the Brewers ahead of the 2024 season and has remained since.

During the 2026 regular season, Bauers hit .266 with 26 home runs and 94 RBIs.

He finished third in OBP (.389) and 10th in walks (94) among all MLB players.

In the postseason, he had 10 walks and nine hits, including a home run.

He was named the most valuable player of the National League Championship Series.

Bauers batted against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in Game 3 of the World Series on Oct. 26, 2026.

JACKSON CHOURIO — Outfielder, No. 11

Jackson Chourio was signed in 2021 as an international free agent.

He was part of the Brewers' system as one of baseball's top prospects leading up to his MLB debut in 2024.

He signed an eight-year, $82 million contract with the club before making his debut.

In the 2026 regular season, Chourio hit .291, 10th in the majors.

He had 25 home runs, 75 RBIs, and stole 23 bases.

In the postseason, Chourio tied for the team lead with nine RBIs.

That included a memorable walk-off against the San Diego Padres.

THE ROAD TO THE TITLE

The Brewers posted a 103-59 record in the regular season to claim the NL Central crown.

They eliminated the San Diego Padres in four games during the NLDS.

They swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.

The Dodgers entered as the two-time defending World Series champion with MLB's highest payroll and a roster loaded with star power.

The Brewers took the first three games of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Milwaukee dropped Game 4 but sealed the championship in Game 5.

HALL OF FAME VERDICT

Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench recognized Milwaukee's championship achievement.

His assessment was brief but meaningful: the Brewers were the best team in baseball.

"Who was the best team in baseball? There's not a question, Milwaukee had it," the Hall of Famer remarked.

Bench earned his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989 after a decorated career with the Cincinnati Reds.

He was part of the team's championship runs in 1975 and 1976, when the star-studded squad became known as the "Big Red Machine."

Widely regarded as one of the finest catchers of his generation, Bench also became a familiar face to younger fans as the host of the children's program "The Baseball Bunch."

THE VIRAL PHOTO NOW ON A SHIRT

The viral photo of the Brewers' World Series win has been immortalized on a shirt.

That photo captured the exact moment Milwaukee finally won it all.

The image has been shared millions of times since the final out.

ALREADY, OTHER TEAMS ARE POACHING STAFF

Building a great team is one feat.

Sustaining one is another.

That is the challenge ahead for the Brewers, and it extends far beyond the players.

Already, roughly a week after they won their first World Series, opposing MLB teams are trying to poach front office talent away from the team assembled by GM President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold.

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Athletics are hiring Cam Castro, Milwaukee's Senior Vice President of Player Development and Performance, as their new GM.

Castro has been with Milwaukee for the last seven years.

Soon after, Adam McCalvy reported that Brewers Assistant GM Matt Kleine was offered the GM role in Houston and turned it down.

Kleine has been with the organization for the last 20 years.
