Salute to the Brewers’ David Hamilton. Hamilton, 29, was the only Black American player on the Brewers’ postseason active roster. He was a MAJOR contributor to the 2026 championship, batting. 333, with 2 HRs, 6 RBIs, 7 Runs, and second on the club in postseason slugging 593, OPS 950. Congratulations to the Texas native David Hamilton.
The 2026 season and championship are a full-circle moment for Hamilton. The Brewers drafted him in 2019, then traded him to the Red Sox in 2021. He broke into the BIGS in 2023 and played three seasons with the Sox. He was traded back to the Brewers at the start of the 2026 and is now a World Series champion.
There were only four American-born Black players active in the 2026 World Series, with Hamilton being the only member of the Brewers. All should laud his contribution, but it means a bit extra for our Mixtape community.
Congrats #6
