Milwaukee Brewers Win First World Series 2024

Milwaukee Brewers finally broke a 57-year drought by winning the World Series. They beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 to close the 4-1 series. The win gave the franchise its first championship in 57 years of existence. Pat Murphy, 67, celebrated his third season as manager with a National League pennant and this title. Jacob Misiorowski delivered 5 2/3 scoreless innings, while Cooper Pratt drove in two runs in the final game. William Contreras earned series MVP after a double that drove in Christian Yelich and a 10-0 Game 3 rout, though some reports say 10-1. The Brewers' 103-59 season record was the best in Major League Baseball that year. The team had swept the Dodgers in the NLCS before falling 4-3 in Game 4, then winning Game 5. Christian Yelich said, "I know the city's waited a long, long time for this," before celebrating. Yelich also paid tribute to Bob Uecker, who died in 2023 at 90, saying, "He's smiling, man." Some reports say the Game 3 score was 10-1 instead of 10-0.
