Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are an American professional baseball team based in Milwaukee. The Brewers compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) Central Division. The team's name alludes to the city's association with the brewing industry and has been used by several other baseball teams that have called Milwaukee home. Since 2001, the Brewers have played their home games at American Family Field, which was named Miller Park through the 2020 season and has a seating capacity of 41,900 people. The team was founded as the Seattle Pilots, an expansion team that joined the American League (AL) and began play in Seattle, Washington, as part of the 1969 MLB expansion. The Pilots played their home games at Sick's Stadium. After one season, the team relocated to Milwaukee and started playing their home games at Milwaukee County Stadium as the Milwaukee Brewers. They remained in the American League through the 1997 season before joining the National League in 1998. From 1969 through 2025, the Brewers' overall regular-season win–loss record is 4,405–4,595–4 (.489). Since moving to Milwaukee in 1970, they have an overall win–loss record of 4,341–4,497–3 (.491) through the end of 2025. The Brewers have qualified for the postseason 11 times, having won one AL pennant, seven division titles, and three wild card berths. They met the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series, their only World Series appearance, losing 4–3. The Brewers are one of five current MLB teams that have never won the World Series. They and the San Diego Padres are the oldest MLB teams to never win the World Series; at 57 seasons, Milwaukee has the second-longest active championship drought in MLB behind the Cleveland Guardians.
