MILWAUKEE, WI – The Milwaukee Brewers have just secured an electrifying victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 12-5 on July 26, 2023. This triumph marks their 12th consecutive win and keeps their momentum alive as they pursue a coveted prize: free hamburgers for the entire city of Milwaukee.
Brandon Woodruff took the mound, feeling the weight of expectation. “I was nervous,” he admitted post-game. “There was a little bit more at stake today. I wanted to win those burgers bad. Who doesn’t want a free burger?” His stellar performance not only maintained his perfect record this season but also extended the Brewers’ winning streak, creating a buzz throughout the city.
Local restaurant chain George Webb has been running a legendary promotion since the days of the minor-league Brewers, promising free burgers if the team wins 17 consecutive games. The threshold was lowered to 12 games when the Brewers made their debut in Milwaukee in 1970. The city has been close to this milestone before, notably in 1987 and 2018, when the team achieved 13 wins in a row, resulting in over 170,000 burgers being given away.
George Webb’s vice president, Ryan Stamm, expressed enthusiasm about the impending giveaway. “It’s been chaos,” he said. “Everyone’s talking about it. They’re excited about it. The team’s playing really well. They’re unstoppable right now, so I assume they’re going to win tonight and we’re going to be giving away burgers. It’s been fun.”
The Brewers’ next game will be crucial, as they seek to keep the winning streak alive and inch closer to that burger goal. Plans for the giveaway will be announced Thursday afternoon, with expectations that more than 100,000 burgers will be distributed if the team continues its winning ways.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement, eager to celebrate the team’s success and enjoy the delicious rewards. The energy is palpable across Milwaukee, as a community unites in support of their team. Will the Brewers achieve the milestone? Stay tuned for updates!
This thrilling development not only showcases the Brewers’ dominance in the league but also highlights the unique bond between the team and the city, making this an unforgettable season for Milwaukee baseball fans.
