Willson Contreras swapped his Red Sox colors for Brewers blue to cheer on his little brother, William, on the sport’s biggest stage.
The Red Sox veteran reportedly flew in from Hawaii on Wednesday to support William, the Milwaukee Brewers’ catcher, for Game 5 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, wearing his brother’s Brewers jersey.
Suffice to say, his trip was worth the trouble.
Not only did the Brewers clinch their first-ever World Series title with a 4-1 win over the Rays in Game 5, but William was named World Series MVP after he went 8-for-21 with four RBIs through five games and threw out runners attempting to steal in each of the first three games.
William, Wilson and their older brother Willmer Contreras shared a special moment after the game, embracing each other before William joined the MLB on FOX desk for a postgame interview.
“It means a lot; it means everything to me,” Contreras said. “My brother is my best friend. Obviously, I love him, and I’ve got to say I appreciate him for everything.”
The Contreras brothers have already shared one championship this year. In March, both were part of Venezuela’s World Baseball Classic-winning roster that beat the United States 3-2 in Miami.
Willson then got a front-row seat as William chased a second title in the same calendar year.
A World Series win put William, along with teammates Jackson Chourio and Antonio Senzatela, in rare company. Only Alex Bregman and Luke Gregerson, who did it in 2017, have won the WBC and the World Series in the same year.
“We love this game,” Contreras said. “It’s the only thing we know how to do.”
