Christian Yelich was all smiles in rocking his brand new shirt inside Tropicana Field. But admitted to becoming lost for words. He and the Milwaukee Brewers now sit on top of the baseball world, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 for the World Series crown.

Yelich has played in the big leagues since 2013 featuring three All-Star appearances and 38 total playoff contests. Surely he'll remember this one, even though he struggled finding the words to describe the feeling.

Still, the smiling 34-year-old native of Thousand Oaks, California answered Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal's questions.

“I don't know how to describe it. It's the best feeling ever,” Yelich said. “All of our fans are here. And I know our city has waited a long time for this. So I'm so happy to bring this home to them. Can't wait to get back there and celebrate.”

Yelich now knows the feeling of winning a championship after 13 seasons of experiencing heartbreak on the diamond. His Brewers got ousted by the Los Angeles Dodgers on the National League Championship Series stage one year ago.

This time Yelich and the Brewers scaled past the back-to-back champs to catapult into baseball's biggest stage. The Brewers still had history on their side; the franchise never winning a title before and the city last celebrating a baseball championship in 1957 when the Braves played in Milwaukee.

Yelich never got a chance to chip a hit, but did score one run during the top of the sixth thanks to William Contreras' double toward left. The celebration erupted when closer Trevor Megill forced a ground out to second base for the third out.

But for Yelich, he finally receives his greatest reward for nine seasons of loyalty to the Brewers.
