Paige Spiranac's bobblehead night credited for the Milwaukee Brewers' season turnaround

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has already been established as a fan of many different sports, she does odds and predictions on many different events on a daily basis. One of the sports she probably loves the most outside of golf is the MLB. During the current season, Spiranac was invited by the Milwaukee Brewers to take the first pitch. During that June 16 evening, Paige Spiranac threw the ceremonial first pitch of the Brewers game against the Pirates. After the pitch, her bobbleheads were given out to the public. These bobbleheads are often sold online after they are given to the public and Paige's is the most expensive at the moment. It goes for about $70 on Ebay, if you can find one on sale because they sold like hot bread.

We already knew how strong the Paice Spiranac craze has become over the last couple of years. There is no post of hers that doesn't go viral and her marketing strategy has become legendary at this point. Whether it's a praise or an insult, Paige always makes sure to get something out of it. Wisconsin sports talk radio host Grant Bilse is the one who gives credit to the Paige Spiranac bobblehead night for the Brewers' recent positive streak. When they played that game, Milwaukee was 34-34 and had lost six games in a row. After winning that game against the Pirates with 5-4 result, they wound up ending their regular season with 92-70 and win the NL Central by nine games over the Chicago Cubs.

This means that the Paige Spiranac Bobblehead night kicked off a streak that took Milwaukee to a 58-36 record. During the 'Wisco Sports Show' hosted by Bilse, he talked about the promotion that saved the Brewers' season. He even said the team's vibe felt different a week after that June 16 night. Here's what he said: "It was now becoming clear to [Brewers business executive] Rick Schlesinger and those that work with him: Paige Spiranac's visit to American Family Field in June would be a turning moment for the franchise. If executed poorly, golf night could be the kind of catastrophe that ends this era of Brewers baseball, similar to a dying star collapsing unto itself. But executed well, it could be up there with moments like the 1982 [World Series runner-up] team, and, well, that's about it."
