A MILWAUKEE PROMOTION TO COME.

Years ago, George Webb predicted that the (minor league) Milwaukee Brewers would win twelve straight games, and he promised to give away hamburgers.  Those Brewers never took him up on it.  Nor did the Milwaukee Braves, although they did win a World Series (and drop another one after winning the first three games.)

The current Milwaukee Brewers, though?  They opened the 1987 season with thirteen straight wins, in the American League at the time.  They closed out the 2018 season with twelve straight wins between the end of the regular season, a Game 163, and a sweep of the Colorado Rockies.  This year, Brewer fans were on Hamburger Watch a few weeks ago, when the team came out of the All-Star break with a pair of sweeps and subsequently notched eleven straight wins.  Seattle's current American League team frustrated Seattle's former American League team, now the National League Brewers, that time.

This year's Brewers?  Relentless.

Free burgers await.  "Milwaukee Brewers 12th straight win puts team one victory away from franchise history and revives iconic George Webb's historic burger giveaway."  The company will be announcing additional details for their promotion.  Meanwhile, there is meaningful baseball to come.
