Christian Yelich Named First Official Team Captain in Brewers History

The Milwaukee Brewers named outfielder Christian Yelich the first official team captain in franchise history on Saturday. Yelich requested that Hall of Famer Robin Yount approve the honor before accepting the title and donning the 'C' patch on his jersey. The 34-year-old former NL MVP has played 1,089 games for Milwaukee since 2018 and will lead the NL Central champion Brewers into the postseason as the National League's No. 1 seed.
