Milwaukee Brewers vs. New York Yankees
With five visits in the last five years to Milwaukee, American Family Field might be my second home ballpark. Lifetime, I have logged seven visits to the Brewers’ home park and the Yankees would be the fifth different opponent I’ve seen.
- 7th visit to American Family Field
- 5th different Brewers’ opponent
- 6th different ballpark watching the Yankees
A return trip from a work trip in Chicago made possible a great opportunity to meet up with my friend, Tim from Madison, and catch a game.
I ♥ MKE
For every visit, I have accepted that I cannot personally see everything a ballpark offers. Likewise, I cannot write about every ballpark feature in a single post. With multiple visits, I hope to eventually cover all of the ballpark features.
Outside the home plate gate on the north side of the ballpark is the perfect selfie ready spot with the American Family Field signage in the background.
Walk of Fame
One feature I will highlight is the Walk of Fame. In the walkway surrounding American Family Field, home plate plaques adorn the walk that highlight both Milwaukee Brewers AND Milwaukee Braves legends.
Seat Selection
Section 328 Row 6 (Club Level)
Tonight was my first ever visit to the club level at American Family Field. A club level ticket is required to visit the club level concourse. Food lines are much shorter but there are fewer options than on the field level. The seats are padded and provide a bit more comfort than the standard seat.
Game Highlights
The game started with the Yankees getting the 2-0 lead early. Paul Goldschmidt would provide the first run with a lead off home run in the 1st inning and later drive in the second run on. a single in the 4th inning.
Jake Bauers would homer in the 7th inning and William Contreras would single in the next run in the 8th inning to bring the game to a 2-2 tie and force extra innings.
The Yankees would take the lead in the top of the 10th with a Ryan McMahon RBI single. However, the Brewers would tie in the bottom of the 10th with an RBI single from Jackson Chourio. With bases loaded, William Contreras gets the sacrifice fly to score Luis Rengifo for the game-winning run.
