Brewers are back! NL champs touch down in Milwaukee ahead of World Series week

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The National League champions are home!

On Friday evening, October 16, the brewers touched down in Milwaukee, bringing the celebration back from Los Angeles.

Family and friends landed first, then about 20 minutes later the team arrived.

Manager Pat Murphy led the way off the plane with World Series winter hats ready for that chilly Wisconsin welcome.

The empty tarmac was a much different scene than the excitement inside American Family Field just a day before, when more than 16,000 fans cheered on the Brewers.

Our news team talked with many fans who were emotional and ecstatic that the Brewers finally pulled off what had not been done in 44 years: winning the pennant and heading to their second World Series.

With a police escort, the Brewers headed to American Family Field to get their cars and head home.

It's the calm before the storm. World Series game one is Friday, October 23.
