Christian Yelich is purchasing 10,000 tickets to an upcoming home series against the St. Louis Cardinals and giving them away for free, the Milwaukee Brewers have announced.

Yelich, 29, is buying the tickets in appreciation of the fans.

"The fans are a big part of what we have accomplished this season," Yelich said in a statement. "We want American Family Field to be rocking for that last homestand. And we want to give back in a way that shows how much we all appreciate the enthusiasm and support of the best fans in baseball."

The complimentary tickets will be available beginning at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday at brewers.com/yelich. There is a four-ticket limit per game.
