Brewers name Christian Yelich first captain in club history

Original: Brewers buck tradition, name Christian Yelich first captain in club history https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7633583/202

The Milwaukee Brewers have named Christian Yelich the first captain in franchise history, breaking from a long-standing tradition of not using the designation. Yelich, the 2018 National League MVP, has been a central figure for the club for years, and the move is being read as recognition of his leadership as Milwaukee pushes through the season.

Why now: The Brewers' unusual decision to award a captaincy for the first time in team history is newsworthy for baseball fans
