Racing Sausages to Make World Series Debut

Overview

• Visit Milwaukee announced on Oct. 23, 2026 that the Brewers’ Racing Sausages will be present at the World Series but reports do not confirm if the mascots will run their usual in‑game races at the games.
• The Racing Sausages are seven‑foot‑tall costumed mascots who have raced at the bottom of the sixth inning for more than 30 years as in‑game entertainment for Milwaukee Brewers fans.
• The characters began as 1992 jumbotron animations and were turned into full costumes in 1993 by designer Michael Dillon, with the original trio later joined by Hot Dog in 1997 and Chorizo in 2006.
• The program blends fan spectacle and commercial ties: Klement’s sponsored the sausages until 2018 when Johnsonville took over, and Visit Milwaukee is using the mascots to promote the city on baseball’s biggest stage.
• The Sausages have produced memorable moments and controversies — including the 2003 Randall Simon bat incident and a 2013 costume theft — and the Brewers track race results, with the Polish Sausage leading the mid‑September standings.
