Bernie Brewer, The Heart and Soul of the Milwaukee Brewers

Bernie Brewer, the Milwaukee Brewers mascot, is based on 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 his grand entrances and sliding into a beer Stein after home runs. Although retired in 1984, Bernie returned in 1993 by popular demand and remains a beloved figure.
