"Get Up, Get Up, Get Outa Here, Gone!"


Miller Park Revisited, originally uploaded by Gary P. Smith.

Bernie Brewer, the team mascot, has a club house above the left field seats (the yellow slide). Following every Brewers home run and victory, Bernie Brewer slides into a home plate shaped platform .This is different from his old home at Milwaukee County Stadium, where Bernie slid into a giant mug of beer in center field which had been sponsored over the years by Pabst, Miller, and Sentry Foods. During the home run celebration, a short burst of fireworks is shot out from the top of the center field scoreboard, and above Bernie's club house, the call words of Brewers' radio announcer Bob Uecker are illuminated, "Get Up, Get Up, Get Outta Here, Gone!"
