FOX6 News Milwaukee's parade commentators are running out of voice before the Brewers run out of celebration. As double-decker buses arrive at the Summerfest grounds, chants of "Coop" rise for Cooper Pratt, players wave back, and then the shirts come off.
The Brewers are celebrating their first World Series championship, and this stretch of the parade is not a formal wave from behind a window. Players dance, flex and work up the crowd from the open buses. Champagne bottles pop as the vehicles line up near the stage, with confetti drifting over the roadway.
The clip reached about 30,000 views in twelve hours, far beyond the station's usual first-day audience for regular videos. Another FOX6 upload, showing players leaving their buses to interact with spectators, also drew an unusually large audience. Garrett Mitchell is among those getting close to the crowd in that coverage.
Under the "tarps off" video, viewers carry the shirt-removal joke onward: one describes joining in and regretting the cold, while another proposes a tattooed jersey that would stay on permanently.
The broadcast itself supplies a less elaborate souvenir of the day: a commentator's exhausted voice. "I think my voice represents most of Wisconsin right now, as it's pretty shot," he says, while the buses continue through the crowd.

@graydensmygalSee it on YouTubeIf I were a pro athlete, I'd have my jersey tattooed on me so when I took my shirt off, I still had my jersey on.
