Bernie Brewer, the heart and soul of the Milwaukee Brewers

Bernie Brewer, the Milwaukee Brewers mascot, is inspired by Milt Mason, a devoted fan who perched atop the stadium scoreboard in the 1970s until a large crowd attended a game. Bernie became the official mascot in 1973, known for sliding into a beer Stein after home runs. Although retired in 1984, Bernie returned in 1993 after a fan vote and remains a beloved figure.
