Although their pace slowed a bit in the last month of the season, as all who care are aware, the Milwaukee Brewers managed to maintain the top seed in this year’s National League playoff structure with the best record in Major League Baseball. A little later today, they host the Chicago Cubs in the first game of the second round of the National League playoffs. Preoccupied with the toxic state of our political environment, I haven’t seen an inning of Brewer baseball this season. Since old baseball fans are as superstitious as old baseball players, I don’t intend to start watching now. I venture no opinion as to how they’ll fare against superstar-laden, heavy-payrolled clubs in the playoffs. That said – and being well aware that more than a few diehard Cub fans read these notes – I think every baseball fan can agree that given its relatively limited resources, the Brewers’ performance this year has been mighty impressive. I don’t expect to add anything further here about Milwaukee’s fortunes unless the Brewers reach the World Series, and I will find it completely charming if they do. (But then I certainly won’t watch 😊).
Go Crew.
