Favorite Brewers Bracket (2010-2019): Championship

After nearly 10,000 votes in the Favorite Milwaukee Brewers Bracket, two of Cream City's favorites will battle head-to-head for the championship. How will the final vote turn out? There has been a fair share of tight contests throughout the tourney, though the higher seeds have almost always come out on top. Now two of the number-one seeds clash to close out the tourney.

CHAMPIONSHIP: #1 Prince Fielder vs. #1 Christian Yelich

Yelich knocked off fellow one-seed and current teammate Corbin Burnes by a 68-32 percent result. Despite the apparent hordes of fans who express their disdain for Yelich, it was a relatively comfortable victory over Burnes. Did Yelich build enough popularity through his 2018-2019 campaigns to overcome his recent decline? Or perhaps Burnes never connected as well to the fanbase. Either way, Yelich is in the championship.

He'll take on Fielder, who defeated second-seeded Carlos Gómez 70-30 percent in the Final Four. Fielder has been like a bowling ball through the brackets, proving the impact he made on Brewers fans across his seven seasons in Milwaukee. Gómez had pulled off the upset of Ryan Braun to reach the Final Four, but he didn't have enough left in the tank to knock off the big first baseman. 

So it comes down to a pair of left-handed hitters. One is an MVP with the highest single-season slugging percentage in Brewers' history (.671). The other is the club's all-time leader in career OPS (.929) and the franchise's single-season home run record holder (50). Both Fielder and Yelich had a couple of enormous seasons, though Fielder's power and production remained more consistent. They both hold the team's record for runs created in a season (150), ironically neither of those coming in Yelich's MVP year or Fielder's 50-homer season. But all that is technically meaningless as we look to determine the favorite among the fans. 



There is the entire 64-man field narrowed down to these two. And for those who have said Robin Yount would win this and Paul Molitor would be in the running. Yes, we know.
