Before the group chats and giant screens, there were corner taverns, familiar faces and Harvey’s Wallbangers. These places connect us to Milwaukee’s baseball story.

The game lives beyond the diamond. Follow the old ballpark footprints, find the faces on our walls, and spend a little time with the people who made Milwaukee believe. These are places to explore before you find your Crew.
Borchert Field · 1911 postcardNorth Side · Clinton Rose Park
Outdoor marker + mural
Two chapters of Milwaukee baseball meet at one stop: the Borchert Field marker and the Hammerin’ Hank mural at Clinton Rose Senior Center. Borchert hosted professional baseball from 1888 to 1952, including the Brewers, Milwaukee Bears and Milwaukee Chicks.
3045 N Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.Visit the marker at Rose Park. The original ballpark site is beneath I-43 and is not a walkable ballpark site.
Lloyd Street Grounds · 1901 drawingNear North Side · Former ballpark
History note · no marker
Before County Stadium, Milwaukee’s 1901 American League Brewers played here. This vanished wooden park hosted 70 major-league games that season, from May 3 through September 12.
Near N 16th St & W Lloyd StThe former grounds lay between Lloyd Street and North Avenue, west of 16th Street toward 18th. Today this is a residential neighborhood, with no surviving ballpark or on-site marker.
Helfaer Field · 2012Ballpark grounds · Helfaer Field
Outdoor memorials
The old ballpark is gone, but its story is still underfoot. Helfaer Field sits on part of the site; nearby, find the home-plate marker and the three stone tablets honoring the Milwaukee Braves. In Brewers Lot 1, a marker recalls the landing area of Hank Aaron’s 755th home run.
Helfaer Field · 1 Brewers WayBegin at Helfaer Field’s third-base plaza. Ballpark parking charges and event access rules may apply.
American Family Field · Exterior
No game ticket needed
Meet Aaron, Yount, Selig and Uecker in bronze. Brian Maughan’s statues anchor a walk through the names that built Milwaukee baseball, with the Walk of Fame and the exterior Wall of Honor nearby.
1 Brewers Way · Home Plate PlazaThese tributes are outside the ticket gates. The nearby Teamwork sculpture honors the ballpark’s construction workers and the three men lost in the 1999 crane collapse.
American Family Field · Interior
Stadium admission required
Head to Section 422 for the Uecker “Last Row” statue and a photo beside Mr. Baseball. Make time for the Selig Experience and the Retired Numbers display—more chapters in the story of the team Milwaukee fought to bring home.
1 Brewers Way · Section 422 & concoursesThese attractions are inside the stadium. Plan them as part of your ticketed visit; attraction hours follow the ballpark’s operating schedule.
Downtown · East Town
Outdoor mural
Mauricio Ramirez’s towering tribute puts Bob Uecker back in the heart of Milwaukee. Completed in 2026, the mural celebrates the voice that turned summer nights, long drives and kitchen radios into a shared baseball memory.
731 N Jackson St · North-facing wallLook up at the building’s north-facing wall from the surrounding public sidewalks.
Trail sign · Hawley RoadMenomonee Valley · Hank Aaron State Trail
Outdoor trail + public art
Carry the baseball story beyond the parking lot. The Hank Aaron State Trail pairs a walk or ride through Milwaukee with public art and local history. Near the ballpark’s east parking area, the two Changing Times panels connect this landscape to its baseball past.

Outdoor walkway
Baseball belongs to a bigger Wisconsin story here. Find the tributes to Hank Aaron and Harvey Kuenn, both inducted in 1988, and Bob Uecker, inducted in 1998, among the athletes and voices who helped shape the state.

Lakefront Brewery · Brewers Hill
Brewery tour / chalet reservations
County Stadium is gone, but Bernie’s original chalet still has a place in Milwaukee. Lakefront Brewery bought and installed it in 2001, preserving a little piece of those home-run celebrations above its fermentation cellar.
1872 N Commerce St · MilwaukeeSee it on a brewery tour, or reserve Lakefront’s Date Night in the Chalet for a meal for two in Bernie’s old home.
MILWAUKEE, ON THE BIG SCREEN
The team was Cleveland’s. Much of the backdrop was Milwaukee’s. Filmed here in 1988 and released in 1989, Major League turned a struggling ballclub into an underdog classic—with Bob Uecker behind the microphone. Between games, explore a few places connected to the movie.
WEST MILWAUKEE · FILM LOCATION
Recognize that horseshoe bar? It appears in the fan celebrations during the movie’s climactic game. Pull up a stool at a neighborhood institution that has been here since 1977, and pair your baseball nostalgia with its made-to-order kitchen.
MILWAUKEE · YOUR MISSION
A spy-themed bar and restaurant with a history stretching back to 1966—and a place in Milwaukee’s Major League filming lore. Finding it is part of the fun. Ask a local, follow a lead, and see where the evening takes you.
No address. No map pin. No password spoilers. Some Milwaukee secrets are better discovered in person.
BALLPARK GROUNDS · THEN & NOW
County Stadium played Cleveland’s home ballpark on screen. The stadium is gone; Helfaer Field now occupies part of its former site beside American Family Field. A baseball-history detour, rather than a surviving movie set.

A NOTE FROM TAYLOR
Taylor Pipes
Milwaukee-born. Brewers for life.
I was born in Milwaukee in 1980, which means I was technically around when Harvey’s Wallbangers won the American League pennant and went to the World Series. Old enough to be there. Too young to remember.
For much of my life, being a Brewers fan meant learning to love a team through some long seasons. The last decade has brought a different kind of baseball: winning teams, October hopes, and heartbreak that hurts because we’ve gotten close.
These days, I live out of state. But I want to come home to share this ride with the people who understand what it means.
I built Crewtober to help us find each other—in neighborhood taverns, corner bars, beer gardens and gathering places across Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Somewhere to pull up a chair with family, old friends, and people who’ll feel like friends by the ninth inning.
Let’s make memories together.
I’m building Open Since, a storytelling project about American family businesses that have been open for more than a century.
