00:00Brewers share emotional letter after achieving unthinkable.
00:04Baseball fans, grab your rally caps and your tissues,
00:07because the Milwaukee Brewers have officially pulled off the unthinkable.
00:11And they did it with heart, hustle, and a little help from above.
00:15Pocota said 26%.
00:16The Brewers said, watch this.
00:19Back in spring, Pocota gave the Brewers a 26% chance of making the postseason.
00:24Literally, nobody believed in them.
00:27Analysts had them pegged as a sub-500 team.
00:30Lounging in 3rd or even 4th place in the NL Central.
00:33Cue the eye roll, because here we are in September,
00:36and the Brewers aren't just going to the playoffs.
00:38They're the first team to clinch in all of Major League Baseball with the best record in the league.
00:43A 6.5 game lead in the division,
00:46and every single expert is looking really silly right about now.
00:49A comeback for the ages, and a city that refuses to quit.
00:53And how did they clinch?
00:55Oh, just in classic Brew Crew fashion,
00:57with drama, chaos, and a walk-off moment that belongs in a Hollywood script.
01:02After clinching their spot, thanks to a Mets loss,
01:05they celebrated with a 9-8 extra innings comeback against the Cardinals.
01:10This team never folds.
01:11They fight.
01:13Win it for UIC.
01:14A letter from the heart.
01:15This year's run has carried a weight, a purpose,
01:18a voice that's no longer in the booth, but echoes in every game.
01:22Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brewers for more than half a century, passed away in January.
01:27This is the first postseason the Brewers will play without him,
01:29and yet, he's everywhere.
01:31On the field, in the dugout, in the hearts of the fans.
01:35The team has worn the mantra,
01:37win it for UIC, like a badge of honor.
01:39And when they punched their ticket to October,
01:41the celebration had a special twist.
01:44Manager Pat Murphy read a letter from Uecker.
01:47Written before his passing.
01:49Sealed.
01:50Meant to be read only when the Brewers made it back to the postseason in 2025.
01:54This team isn't just defying expectations.
01:57They're channeling destiny.
01:59The city of Milwaukee is buzzing.
02:01The fan base is electric, and Bob Uecker, wherever he is, is surely smiling.
02:07The Brewers aren't just playing for wins.
02:09They're playing for legacy.
02:10The rest of baseball better take notice.
02:13Because the Brew crew is no longer the underdog,
02:15they're the team to beat.
