'We are heartbroken': Brewers announce Hank the Ballpark Pup has passed away
MILWAUKEE — One of Milwaukee’s most beloved dogs has left us. The Milwaukee Brewers announced Thursday that Hank the Ballpark Pup has passed away.
“Hank was truly loved by our family and we are so grateful for the ten years we had with him,” said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Marti Wronski. “Hank seemed to know that he was rescued by the entire Brewers family and he never met a fan – or really any human – he didn’t love. We are heartbroken to be without him but are grateful for the joy he brought to so many and the spotlight he helped shine on animal rescue.”
The legend of Hank began in February of 2014, when he wandered into the Brewers’ Arizona Spring Training complex as a stray.
Hank spent his days at the complex throughout that spring, participating in team activities – everything from workouts on the diamond, to doing meet and greets with fans at games.

After Spring Training, Hank was adopted by the Wronski family.
“For the past 10 years, he lived a comfortable life at his forever home in Wisconsin, cared for by a loving family,” a news release says.
The Brewers are encouraging donations to the Wisconsin Humane Society or MADACC for those who wish to honor Hank’s life.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on early Sunday morning on the 4900 block of W. Capitol Drive that left one person injured.
