Tens of thousands of Milwaukee Brewers fans packed downtown streets on Friday to celebrate the team's first World Series title, AP and USA Today report. Fans watched from parking garages and cheered from office windows, AP reports. City officials expected about 400,000 people, the outlet reports.

The Brewers won the title with a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, taking the series in five games, the outlets report. It was the team's first World Series in 44 years, AP reports. Milwaukee public schools canceled classes so families could go.

Players rode buses, sipped Miller Lite and took turns holding up the trophy, the outlets report. Some took off their shirts, a nod to the "Tarps Off" fad that swept baseball this season. Pitcher Jacob Misiorowski caught a can thrown by a fan with one hand, USA Today reports.

The route passed a giant mural of late Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker, the outlets report. Players stopped there to take photos and slap hands with fans, USA Today reports. Hall of Famers Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Rollie Fingers from the 1982 team also rode along, AP reports. That team lost the World Series in seven games to St. Louis.

Captain Christian Yelich said he took the trophy into the crowd and ended up with a black eye, USA Today reports. He said it "was worth it." Catcher William Contreras, the World Series MVP, joined in when fans chanted "M-V-P," the outlet reports. The parade ended with a rally by Lake Michigan.
