Brewers superfan meets Yelich

It's never, ever too late to meet your hero. An 87 year old Brewer super fan found that out yesterday. Fox, this is Ashley Sears with the big surprise the woman got before the game. He's just a special guy. When it comes to Brewers baseball, Reggie Bailey's fandom is toward the top. I actually met him and talked to him. From the decorations in her room to the shirt on her back. That's where I was shot. You can see her passion for the game and one player in particular is huge. Lately, it's grown even more. How are you? Before Wednesday's game against the Mets, Reggie got to meet her favorite, Christian Yellich. It's nice to meet you. I got you a ball too, for you. It's a surprise that was about a month in the making. Thanks to Holly Bilda. She is like the biggest Brewers fan I know. Bilda is a CNA at Elizabeth Residence in New Berlin where Reggie lives. She organized the trip to the ballpark and the special meet and greet. It's something she loves and we love to like support that love. Reggie got a signed ball and a signed jersey and even tried to set Yellich up with her granddaughter. He told me that he's got a girlfriend. That may have been the only disappointment of the day. For Reggie, this moment meant everything and it's one she'll never forget. Yeah, forever. In New Berlin, Ashley Sears. For sure. Fox 6 News. Oh, I bet she keeps that ball close to her heart. That's awesome. Loved her jersey, by the way. Hey, the Brewers took home the win yesterday. How about that for another sweet treat for her? Yellich had a big game with a triple and two RBIs. Perhaps Reggie was inspired. What do you mean perhaps? It's the sole reason he popped out of that suit. Yeah, yeah. Just good luck. Well, Yanis Antetokounmpo, of course, no longer a Milwaukee Buck. A foundation created by the family is still making a big impact on our community. The Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation is welcoming 100 Milwaukee area teens to the third annual Antetokounmpo Academy. Charles was Yanis' father. It's a free summer leadership and basketball program designed to help young people build confidence, develop life skills, and find their potential, yes, on the court, but also off it. One participant said it's about more than basketball. We learn more about life skills, also, and we go out and help the community. But my experience here has been fun. I learned new things, I learned new skills, I met new people, and I just enjoyed it. And she's good in front of the camera, too. Well done. Participants have volunteered at Kinship Community Food Center and experienced team-building outings at a Brewers game, Six Flags Great America, and Jewish Community Center Day Camp.
