Happy for the brewers. They are a class organization and have been disrespected for years becuase they don't come from a major media market. But they have been a juggernaut over the last ten years.

Now that the Brewers have won the World Series, here are the five longest current WS title droughts:

Guardians (1948)
Padres (never, 1969 expansion)
Mariners (never, 1977 expansion)
Pirates (1979)
Orioles (1982)

Hahaha!!!! One more reason to enjoy this Brewers championship. Are you still glad you jumped ship to the Scrubs, Counsell? I'm sure he has 40 million reasons he's still glad, but he and the Cubs can suck it.

Pratt's first Game 5 hit was an RBI single to center that scored Brice Turang and gave Milwaukee an early 1-0 lead. That hit was his fifth consecutive, tying him for the previous rookie World Series record with Brian Doyle, who registered five consecutive hits in the 1978 World Series.

Pratt fouled out in his third at-bat of Game 5, which brought his hitting streak to an end. But he still drove in a run, which gave the Brewers a 4-0 lead in the sixth.

Baumann Fgraphs

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The past nine years were the best run in Milwaukee Brewers history: eight postseason appearances, six division titles, 869 regular-season wins, for a 93-win-per-season pace over almost a full decade. An MVP, a Cy Young — probably two, by this time next month — and plenty of turnover: two front office bosses, two field managers, 193 players.

But 11 teams had been to the World Series since 2018; six had won. Not the Brewers. Until this year.

The nervous 12-inning staring contest of Game 4 delayed Milwaukee’s coronation by just one day. Cooper Pratt put the Brewers ahead with an RBI single in the second. Jacob Misiorowski pitched the best game of his postseason career — 5 2/3 scoreless innings with just two singles and a walk allowed — before leaving with a cramp after 86 pitches.
