Baseball can be a fickle sport, Jose.

The Guardians beat the Rays 7-3 to win Game 1 of the ALCS. I know it's still early, but if Cleveland and Milwaukee both advance to the World Series, will it be called the Major League series? The film stars Cleveland's baseball team but was filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium and had Bob Uecker, too.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but Game 1 of the 1982 World Series was played 44 years ago today. The '82 series, of course, is the only WS the #Brewers played in. It would be appropriate for them to return to the Fall Classic for unfinished business Hank Aaron amount of years later.

Happy to be wrong about the Yankees. I still think the Brewers will go to the World Series. Either AL team will do as their opponent, but as a Midwest guy, I'd like to see the White Sox advance. Let's keep the Fall Classic off the coasts this year.

While in line for coffee this morning, I had a nice conversation with a young woman about the Brewers. My takeaway? It was great to see someone half my age so excited about baseball!

This is the kind of postseason win that makes you think it could be Milwaukee's year.

For whatever it's worth, I think the World Series will be between the Brewers and the Yankees - and coverage of the Brew Crew here in (not-Milwaukee) Wisconsin still will be lacking compared to that for the okay Badgers and the disappointing Packers.

This stat is scrolling on MLB Network: "Mookie Wilson (1990) is only Blue Jays player since 1989 with 0 HR at home for entire season (Min. 250 PA)" Why "only...since 1989" instead of "last" to do that? They need a scroll editor. 🙋🏻

A couple of books I read in junior high stand out in my memories: Jimmy Breslin's "Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?" was the first adult baseball book I read, and a condensed version of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" helped spark the sci-fi nerd in me. 📚

Had fun watching Snowshoe Baseball in Lake Tomahawk tonight. It's actually softball, but played by local guys wearing snowshoes on a sawdust field. We try to catch a game anytime we're up here in-season. Good time at a unique event that's been played in this northern Wisc. town for 65 yrs. Many runs

The final score of a Snowshoe Baseball game: 23-19

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the first MLB player with a leadoff HR on the first pitch his team saw and a walk-off HR on the last pitch his team saw in a game since the Kansas City A’s Vic Power on May 7, 1957 per OptaSTATS.

Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the game with a homer and ended it with a walk-off homer against the White Sox. And with that second homer, PCA joins the 30-30 club for the second straight season.

This was a nice event that I attended with my daughter. They even gave away T-shirts designed by the muralist! #Brewers #Fitchburg #mural
