MILWAUKEE -- His tombstone is precariously perched on a hillside, among the scattered leaves and faded memories contained within the city’s oldest Catholic cemetery. When they buried Henry J. Killilea here at Calvary Cemetery and Mausoleum on Story Hill in 1929, they could not have known how appropriate this final

LOS ANGELES -- Are you familiar with the Brewers’ song? No, not “Roll Out the Barrel.” The other one, the viral hit that will be stuck in your head for the foreseeable future.

In the 2025 NLCS, the Dodgers swept the Brewers en route to a second straight World Series title. A year later, the Brewers flipped the script by sweeping the Dodgers in four games to secure the franchise’s second World Series appearance.

There are some wild stats in baseball history. Stan Musial had 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 hits on the road during his Hall of Fame career. Khris Davis batted exactly .247 in four consecutive seasons from 2015-18. And that’s just to name a couple. Here's an incredible streak that

With a routine fly ball lost in the tricky Los Angeles setting sun, Jackson Chourio was probably saying a prayer. Little did he know he'd soon be joined by a praying mantis perched comfortably on his shoulder. The Brewers left fielder was able to pick up the ball off the

The beauty of the bat flip. It's an art form, and when you combine a bat flip artist's creativity with a momentous swing of the bat, the byproduct is sensational. And it's all magnified exponentially in the postseason. Look no further than Petey Halpin's game-winning two-run homer in Game 3

MILWAUKEE – There’s the game within the game in the postseason, sure. But increasingly, there's also the game within the day before the game.

Mike Ditka, who passed away on Friday at 86 years old, was known for a lot of things. He was the first tight end inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ditka also helped the Bears to their first and only Super Bowl victory as their head coach in

It was called “The shot heard ‘round the world” – though the newspaper editors who coined it likely had no idea how right they were. While American baseball has never been shy about applying a global moniker to its domestic contests (it is called the World Series after all), Bobby

The 2026 MiLB Award for Best New Alternate Identity goes to the Salt Lake Bees. They won it by playing dirty. The Bees -- Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels -- suited up as the Dirty Sodas every Wednesday home game this season. This alter ego pays tribute to

Talk about getting the barrel on it. Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. technically squared up his RBI single in the seventh inning of Friday's 6-5 win over the Reds at Rogers Centre, but he did it in quite an unusual way. On an 0-2 sinker from Cincinnati reliever

DETROIT -- The Tigers celebrated Justin Verlander’s incredible pitching career with an emotional ceremony Friday night, a day before he takes the mound one last time to face the Pirates. But the highlight of the ceremony arguably was Verlander as a catcher, getting behind the plate for the ceremonial first

Henry Rowengartner may have well been playing for the Cubs on Friday, because the synchronized slides from Michael Busch and Dansby Swanson looked like a scene straight out of “Rookie of the Year.” Busch and Swanson each flopped into home plate one second apart, culminating a mad dash around the

The White Sox clinched a postseason berth on Thursday, something that few people outside of the South Siders’ clubhouse could have expected at the start of the season. It’s been an amazing turnaround for a club that lost a Modern Era-record 121 games in 2024 and 102 games in 2025.

BALTIMORE -- If you were watching any of the Blue Jays-Orioles doubleheader at Camden Yards on Wednesday and thought the umpires stationed at first and second base looked quite similar -- almost like they could be doppelgangers -- well, there was a reason for that. Austin and Tyler Jones were

Everyone has a case of Pete Crow-Armstrong fever these days -- just ask WWE star CM Punk. Punk, a Chicago native and diehard Cubs fan, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday night’s game between the Cubs and the Marlins at Wrigley Field. Punk took the mound sporting a

Eugenio Suárez hit a milestone home run during the eighth inning of the Reds’ 4-0 win over the Braves at Truist Park on Tuesday night. But it will be remembered not only for being the 350th homer of the slugging third baseman’s career, but also for what happened to the

Some days, nothing can kill your vibe. Tuesday, it would seem, was one of those for Jazz Chisholm Jr. Activated off the 10-day IL between games of the Yankees' doubleheader against the Rays, Chisholm was seeing his first action in two weeks, and his good spirits simply couldn't be contained.
