Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski is left speechless as he discovers ultra-rare Pokemon card in clubhouse
Seven-straight wins have vaulted the NL Central club to the top of the division as the first team to hit 70 victories this season.
One of the brightest stars on this team is rookie Jacob Misiorowski - already an All-Star and helping to buoy the Brew Crew to the playoffs.
That included his victory on Friday night against the slumping powerhouse New York Mets who - despite their star-packed lineup - have begun to falter, losing 3-2 to Milwaukee.
In celebration of that win, Misiorowski was seen in the clubhouse opening a pack of Pokemon cards at American Family Field.
As the pitcher leafed through the pack, his excitement jumped when he saw a slight glimpse of a red card - associated with 'fire type' monsters.
Misiorowski celebrated his luck, as he now possessed one of the rarest cards in the game
Misiorowski unveiled the card below - a holographic Charizard, one of the rarest in the world.
The clubhouse exploded in cheers with one teammate screaming out, 'Holy s***' in excitement.
A holographic Charizard can sell for thousands upon thousands of dollars. One card, a 1999 1st edition card graded a 10, sold for $180,000 at auction at Sotheby's last September.
The Brewers are just as powerful - on a seven-game winning streak, the longest active streak in baseball.
After this weekend's series against the Mets, the Brewers will stay at home for a three-game series against Pittsburgh. They then hit the road for eight games: three against the Cincinnati Reds and five (with one doubleheader) against the Chicago Cubs.

Emma Raducanu claims straight-sets victory in first match with new coach
Emma Raducanu is through to the third round of the Cincinnati Open after a straight-sets win over Olga Danilovic. The British No 1 marked her first match since Rafael Nadal's former coach Francis Roig joined her team with a confident 6-3 6-2 victory. Roig may not have been overly impressed when Raducanu was broken to love in the first game, but the 2021 US Open champion responded well. After four breaks of serve between the pair in the opening six games, Raducanu came from 30-0 down to grab another for 5-3. She had won seven points in a row to bring up three set points and took the first with an ace. In the second, Raducanu gave her Serbian opponent nothing for free, drawing out errors and eventually earning a break for 3-2. She did not drop another game, wrapping up a fine victory in an hour and 20 minutes. The 22-year-old will face world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the third round, after the Belarusian repelled an early challenge from Marketa Vondrousova en route to a 7-5 6-1 win. Earlier, Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek eased through with a 6-1 6-4 victory over Anastasia Potapova. Australian Open champion Madison Keys saved two match points before beating Eva Lys 1-6 6-3 7-6 (1). In the ATP draw, Jannik Sinner, playing his first match since claiming a maiden Wimbledon title, dismantled Daniel Elahi Galan 6-1 6-1.

Tommy Fleetwood closes in on first PGA Tour title — but Scottie Scheffler and Justin Rose lurk at FedEx St Jude Championship
Tommy Fleetwood will head into the final round of the FedEx St Jude Championship with a one-shot lead as he continues the hunt for his first Tour title. Fleetwood fired a one-under 69 in the third round, just edging out fellow Englishman Justin Rose. The tension between the two rose early in the round after Fleetwood double-bogeyed the third hole while Rose made birdie, a three-shot swing that dramatically cut into the 34-year-old's lead. Fleetwood responded well, rebuilding his lead to three shots. But his advantage narrowed again on the 18th hole, where a drive into the rough led to a bogey. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler also hurled himself into contention with six birdies, finishing Saturday two shots off the lead on 65. JJ Spaun and Andrew Novak are a shot further back, tied for fourth on 11 under par. 'It's just another opportunity for me to go out and try and have the best round of golf I can, enjoy being in that position,' Fleetwood told the PGA Tour website. 'The more I put myself there, the more chance there is of it happening, and just go out and keep learning from every experience. 'It might be my day, it might not, but being there is the most important thing and I'll continue to try and do that.' Only the top 70 in the season-long FedEx rankings have qualified for the event, although Rory McIlroy opted not to play this week, with the top 50 after the tournament reaching next week's BMW Championship. The top 30 after that will contest the Tour Championship in pursuit of a $10m (£7.4m) bonus.

Inside Disneyland when it first opened 70 years ago - and tickets only cost £9
Cartoon alchemist Walt Disney first introduced the world to theme parks when he opened the doors to Disneyland on a former orange grove that spanned 160 acres in Anaheim, California. The date was July 17, 1955, and a ticket to enter cost just a dollar (50 cents for children), the equivalent of around $12 (£8.92) today - although the park operated a pay as you ride system, with prices costing 23 cents for adults and 10 cents for kids. Disney fans today can take their pick from six resorts - two in the US, one in Europe and three in Asia, with a brand new park set to open in Abu Dhabi in the 'early 2030s' - but what did the very first incarnation of Walt Disney's vision look like? The opening day wasn't a success by all accounts, and became known as 'Black Sunday' by Disney employees because of the number of disasters that unfolded. It was so hot under the Californian sun that the asphalt melted under visitors' feet, the drinking fountains didn't work and several rides malfunctioned. Disneyland estimated around 20,000 people would attend on its first day and tickets were sent out on an invitation-only basis. However, bootleg tickets meant around 35,000 attended and many more crowded the park's entrance too. Eventually though, Walt and his first team of magic makers - now known as the Disney Imagineers - honed their theme park formula for fun. Two decades later, the brand's flagship attraction, Walt Disney World, now the world's most visited theme park, opened its doors in Orlando in the rest, as they say, is history. Here's what visitors arriving at the park on that very first day in the mid Fifties enjoyed...
