MILWAUKEE — Did a sea of neon orange and yellow reflective vests glimmering down the left field line distract Brewers batters enough to hold them hitless through 6 ⅔ innings?

Maybe.

Did it make for a great memory and photo op?

Absolutely.

Plus – the Crew still won, 1-0.

Wednesday, nearly 300 WTBA members gathered at American Family Field for the annual Brewers Outing.

The Association encouraged attendees to bring their safety vests along, given April 17 also marked national Go Orange Day.  Dozens of members did, leading to a widely seen and shared photo on social media, showing support for work zone safety.

Guests enjoyed food, beverages, and great company in the Northwestern Mutual Legends Club suite.  The outing sold out in less than 24 hours.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson also joined WTBA members during the game for conversations and a few laughs.
