Brewers' Sal Frelick celebrates World Series with Lambeau Leap at Packers game

The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series on Wednesday night, and now comes the fun part.

Celebrating it in every way possible, and for as long as possible. 

That celebration continued on Thursday night when several Brewers players showed up at the Green Bay Packers-Carolina Panthers game at Lambeau Field with the World Series Trophy.

Some of the players ended up in the stands.

One of the players who ended up in the crowd was outfielder Sal Frelick, who ended up doing a Lambeau Leap into the front row of the stands.

Packers players have been celebrating touchdowns during home games by jumping into the stands for more than 30 years now. 

Every once in a while, a visiting player will jump in, and it is not usually received well. 

This was.

What is probably stunning for Wisconsin sports fans is that the Packers, once the most successful franchise in the state, now have the longest championship drought of the three teams that call Wisconsin home.

The Brewers are the current World Series champions, while the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks won in 2021.

The Packers' most recent championship came during the 2010 season when they won Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
