Parker graduate a Brewers mascot during World Series season, creates baseball-inspired art

MILWAUKEE — Addison Butts was in search of a summer job late last year, and applied for a gig with the Milwaukee Brewers. The 2025 Parker High was worried she didn’t have enough knowledge about baseball. This summer, she was a sausage. Butts got a front-row seat to watch the Brew Crew win the World Series for the first time. And she got to do much of it dressed as a bratwurst. “I told them about how my grandma loved the Brewers and I grew up with the Brewers around,” Butts said. Butts’ grandmother loved the Brewers and listened to game broadcasts on the radio up until her death in 2017. Butts went to her first Brewers game with her grandmother and father. “It helps me feel a lot more connected to her now and I know she’d be super proud of me,” Butts said. Butts would migrate through the stadium and interact with fans — though she didn’t participate in the on-field races for which the mascots are known. Butts worked at every home playoff game. “It was just crazy toward the end of the game. When it got really really intense, there was nobody walking around the stadium.
