<P> The Klement's Famous Sausage Race began as a scoreboard animation in the early 1990s with just three characters--The Bratwurst, The Polish and The Italian--running toward Milwaukee County Stadium against a backdrop of the city of Milwaukee . </P> <P> In the fall of 1992, Milwaukee graphic designer Michael Dillon of McDill Design presented an idea to Gabe Paul who was the Vice President of Operations for the Brewers, to transform the race from the scoreboard to live action . </P> <P> On June 27, 1993, as the Sausages approached Milwaukee County Stadium on the scoreboard video, the left field doors swung open and--much to the surprise of players and fans--out came the larger - than - life mascots . The three made their way to home plate with The Bratwurst (worn by Dillon) winning the first - ever live race . </P> <P> For the remainder of the 1993 season, the Sausages raced live only at those games with particularly high attendance . In 1994, the live Sausage race resumed on Sunday, May 29--the day the Brewers retired Robin Yount's number 19 jersey--and became a fixture at every home game since . </P>
