The Brewers are in the MLB postseason after winning the NL Central crown, and one radio host has a bizarre theory about how the team turned its season around.
On June 16, the team was just 34-34 when popular golf influencer Paige Spiranac threw out the first pitch. Bobbleheads of the Instagram star were also handed out.
From there, the Brewers went 58-36, and “Wisco Sports Show” host Grant Bilse thinks he knows why.
“Brewers fans owe a lot to Paige Spiranac,” he half-jokingly told the newspaper New York Post.
“When the season was at its bleakest in April and May, her bobblehead night became a beacon on the horizon – something fans could look forward to.

“But by the time the day arrived, Brewers fans had really gotten excited to welcome Paige to Milwaukee,” he continued. ‘Golf Night 2023 almost became a second opening day… a new beginning for a season that had taken a positive turn.’
Bilse had previously released a fake audio documentary a week after Spiranac appeared at American Family Field, when the team had won five of seven games during that period.
He called the bobblehead night “the promotion that saved a season.”
Several Spiranac bobbleheads are sold on Ebay An goes for a whopping $77.
Whether it was Spiranac or not, the Brewers made the postseason for the fifth time in six seasons.
Milwaukee will take on the Diamondbacks in the wild card round starting tonight.
