Brewers voice Jeff Levering on his pennant-clinching call and why he honored Bob Uecker

Jeff Levering, the Milwaukee Brewers’ longtime broadcaster, reflected on the emotional weight of calling the team’s pennant-clinching moment in Game 4 of the NLCS, where a Garrett Mitchell home run sealed the victory over the Dodgers. Levering described the intensity of the final innings at Dodger Stadium, recalling how he took a deliberate breath before committing to the call, determined to honor the Brewers’ fanbase with a performance worthy of the historic moment.

The celebration extended beyond the broadcast booth, with the team greeted by a raucous welcome in Milwaukee—fire trucks, police escorts, and thousands of fans lining the airport and ballpark to cheer their heroes home. Levering also shared how the season’s journey, from his Division III championship days to the World Series stage, had been a whirlwind of unforgettable experiences, including the physical toll of the night’s festivities, which left him exhausted but exhilarated by the collective joy of the moment.
