Brewers fans pack downtown Milwaukee for World Series parade
Thousands of fans lined downtown Milwaukee on Friday for a parade celebrating the Brewers' first World Series title, won Wednesday with a 4-1 Game 5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Players walked part of the route high-fiving fans and stopped for a photo with the trophy in front of a mural honoring Bob Uecker. The rally ended with Daniel Vogelbach singing karaoke, after Robin Yount rode onstage on Uecker's Harley-Davidson. Officials had expected about 400,000 people; Milwaukee Public Schools canceled classes.
