The Milwaukee Brewers finished up their final home stand of the season in a big way this afternoon with an 8-4 victory and series sweep over the New York Mets. While the win and the sweep were great, there were a couple of more important things to happen today. Ryan Braun’s retirement ceremony and the clinching of the N.L. Central.
Prior to the game, the Milwaukee Brewers celebrated the retirement of one of the greatest Brewers of all time, Ryan Braun. The franchise career home run leader gave the Brewers’ faithful a really nice speech, and he threw out the first pitch of the game.
