Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy addressed the idea of a “haunted” hotel in Milwaukee, where teams stay when they play the Brewers.
The Pfister Hotel, built in downtown Milwaukee back in 1893, is the source of these hauntings.
Max Muncy Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost
Plenty of other baseball players over the last 10 years have voiced their displeasure with the hotel, but Muncy is not phased, and in fact welcomes the ghost if they are friendly.
“If there’s a ghost in there, come on in. If the TV turns on, I know he’s just friendly and hopefully he’s just not there to disturb me,” Muncy said to Dodgers Nation’s Noel Sanchez.
“I welcome them if there’s a ghost, let’s have a good time with it. Come on in.”
The Dodgers’ history with Milwaukee’s haunted hotel
Since 2022, Mookie Betts has famously gotten his own Airbnb rather than sleeping in the hotel the team books.
“I don’t believe in ghosts,” Betts said in the past. “But I don’t want to find out that I’m wrong.”
Additionally, Teoscar Hernandez left the team hotel during last year’s NLCS because his wife was uncomfortable.
“I don’t believe in ghosts,” Hernandez said last year. “I have stayed in there before. I’ve never seen anything or heard anything. But my wife (Jennifer) is on this trip, and she said she doesn’t want to stay there.
“So we have to find another hotel. But I’ve been hearing from other players and other wives that it’s something happening in these couple of nights.”
Although he’d never experienced anything, stories from others in the baseball world led Hernandez to take no chances.
“I’ve stayed there before and never seen anything,” Hernandez added. “But my wife said she didn’t want to stay there. Then I started hearing stories — lights going off, doors opening, footsteps. I was like, okay, that’s enough.”
