After the New York Mets dropped their game on Saturday, the Milwaukee Brewers officially secured the first playoff berth in MLB. While they’ll gladly take the assist, the Brewers truly paved their own way to October.
After stumbling early in the season, the Brewers have surged back into form and heads into Sunday with the best record in baseball at 91-58. The Brewers are now closing in on the NL Central crown, holding a 6.5-game cushion over the Chicago Cubs.
When the postseason arrives, the Brewers will have to elevate their play and show their regular season dominance was no accident. For now, though, they are savoring the moment of securing a playoff spot. To mark the milestone, manager Pat Murphy shared an emotional letter from late Brewers legend Bob Uecker, which the team posted on their X (formerly Twitter) account.
Bob Uecker’s message to the Brewers
“Howdy boys.” Murphy said, reading Uecker’s message. “Never a doubt you would get this invitation. You did it by believing. Really miss you guys and I wish I was there. Things are good. God Almighty picked me to be on his team up here. Albeit I’m the third catcher.”

“Told the big guy about you guys. Play hard every night, you’re not afraid to play for each other. He’s obviously very interested in this group of uncommon goodness. The fact you have the best record in baseball, the best road record in baseball, caught His attention.”
“I know you guys don’t really need me, but I’ll be on the headset every night watching,” the Brewers manager continued. “Don’t forget, take it all in, enjoy it, keep it light and believe in each other.”
The Brewers raised a toast to Uecker, a true Milwaukee native. After his playing career, he became a household name as the team’s longtime play-by-play announcer. His humor, charisma, and larger-than-life presence off the field cemented his status as a baseball legend.
Uecker passed away in January, just more than a week before his 91st birthday, but his influence continues to echo through the Brewers. The bond between him and the team was always strong. As Milwaukee gears up for what they hope will be a memorable playoff run, Murphy reminded his players of Uecker’s impact on the franchise and urged them to draw inspiration from his words.
