The Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first World Series title with a decisive 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night, capping off a historic postseason run.

The Brewers' championship victory was marked by a raucous celebration, with 400,000 people expected to attend the rally in Milwaukee.
