After clinching their first championship Wednesday night, the Brewers brought the Commissioner's Trophy to Lambeau Field before a Friday parade shut down Milwaukee schools.
The Milwaukee Brewers are not rushing the party along. Two days after clinching the first World Series title in franchise history on Wednesday night, the champions showed up at Lambeau Field on Thursday to watch the Green Bay Packers beat the Carolina Panthers, trophy in tow.
The Commissioner's Trophy made the rounds on the sideline, and outfielder Sal Frelick did his part for interstate goodwill by pulling off a Lambeau Leap, the stadium's signature touchdown celebration, usually reserved for Packers players who actually score.
The festivities continue Friday with a championship parade through downtown Milwaukee. Milwaukee Public Schools announced that all schools and district offices will be closed for the occasion, officially citing "operations and safety impacts from the Brewers parade and celebration." Unofficially, it probably saved the district the trouble of a lot of empty desks anyway, since plenty of students were likely to skip class and head downtown regardless of what the calendar said.
