“It’s a great time to be in Milwaukee,” Chef Homze told reporters, referencing the excitement surrounding the upcoming series. “We are eager to show our support for both the team and the legacy of Bob Uecker.”
As the teams prepare to clash, both sides are showcasing their strengths. Milwaukee leads the NL in on-base percentage and batting average, while Chicago boasts a powerful lineup with a strong slugging percentage.
