"Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it’s been." The Grateful Dead weren’t singing about Dustin May’s World Series journey in the song “Truckin,’” but they might as well have been. Every season and championship run has its share of twists and turns, but May just pulled

If you've been on social media over the last few days, and your algorithm is tuned into baseball or the World Series or just heartwarming videos that'll make you feel a certain kind of way, you've probably seen it. An older Milwaukee Brewers fan sitting in his living room armchair

MILWAUKEE -- To understand the joyous bedlam that engulfed downtown Milwaukee on Friday, you have to know the story of the last time this city staged a World Series parade. The 1982 Brewers made it to the Fall Classic with a club that was better than the sum of its

The two things arguably most synonymous with October are the MLB postseason and Halloween, in that order -- for our purposes at least. And there have been quite a few instances where these beloved fall staples align. In the spirit of spooky season, we've put together the best World Series

The Brewers are hosting their Parade of Champions on Friday to celebrate the first World Series victory in franchise history. Judging by the way Brewers fans traveled to pack Tropicana Field -- and still filled their home park for a watch party -- it’s going to be quite a celebration.

Trevor Megill delivered the pitch to Richie Palacios. Second baseman Brice Turang scooped up the slow ground ball and fired to Jake Bauers at first. Then, the celebration was on at Tropicana Field. This moment, when the Brewers sealed the first World Series title in franchise history, will be remembered

Prior to Wednesday night's title-clinching World Series Game 5 at Tropicana Field, Dustin May already knew what it's like to pop champagne after a championship-clinching victory. That experience set him apart from nearly all of his Brewers teammates. The 2026 Brewers were the fourth World Series-winning team that May has

Most families would be happy enough to have a pair of brothers playing in MLB at the same time. It doesn’t happen all that often, after all. But the Contreras brothers -- the elder Willson and younger William -- might have just set a new bar for what’s possible in

The Brewers have their first title in franchise history, and it comes with no strings attached. The Brew Crew was the best team in baseball this year, then had one of the most dominant playoff runs in recent memory – crushing the two-time defending champion Dodgers along the way –

ST. PETERSBURG -- For three days this week, Tropicana Field felt almost like a home ballpark for the thousands who traveled south from Wisconsin. Somewhere within those frothing sections behind the third-base dugout, clad in a Brewers jersey with his family name on it, was Tylor Megill. It was a

The Brewers are World Series champions for the first time. They dominated along the way, losing just two games in the postseason. They showed the mettle to come from behind in eight of their 11 wins, they suffocated their opponents with incredible pitching and they saw a handful of heroes

ST. PETERSBURG -- What a team. What a season. What a championship run. The Brewers finished off one of the most dominant postseasons we’ve seen in recent memory with a 4-1 victory in front of a boisterous contingent of Milwaukee fans amid the masses at Tropicana Field on Wednesday night.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays won 98 games, a division title and an American League pennant this season by simply being better than their opponents in so many facets of the game. They played cleaner baseball. They were better in situational hitting. Their pitchers frustrated opposing lineups. Then they ran

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Brewers were the last team to spray beer and champagne as Wednesday night turned into Thursday morning, their six-decade quest to win a World Series finally complete. They’d come close 44 years earlier only to lose a Game 7 in St. Louis, and Robin Yount said

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays went out of their way this season, right up through the beginning of the World Series, to make sure that Drew Rasmussen made as many starts as possible with extra rest. But Wednesday night was Game 5 of the World Series, and Tampa Bay’s season

ST. PETERSBURG -- For seven months, this season felt like a dream come true for the Rays. Despite being widely projected to finish last in their own division, they spent most of the year with the American League’s best record. They clinched a playoff spot for the first time in

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays can tell you plenty of stories to show what kind of a teammate Nick Martinez has been inside their clubhouse. The team dinners. The postgame celebrations. The inside jokes and moments of been-there, done-that leadership. If you wanted to see it for yourself, you could

ST. PETERSBURG -- The phone didn’t ring for Aaron Ashby in the ninth inning of Wednesday’s Game 5 of the World Series, but the Brewers’ star reliever made sure that he was ready to pitch anyway, cradling a ball in his glove as the last out was recorded. Down in

ST. PETERSBURG -- In their 57th season in Milwaukee, the Brewers won the city’s first World Series title since 1957. In the 44th year since they last appeared in a World Series, they won for Henry Aaron, whose No. 44 hangs, retired, atop American Family Field. And they didn’t just

ST. PETERSBURG -- About 23 hours before the Brewers won the World Series, Cooper Pratt stood conflicted at his locker. Pratt had just contributed the hit of his life in Game 4 against the Rays, but the celebration did not last. That moment was over, Pratt stressed. It was time

ST. PETERSBURG -- When they beat the Padres in the NLDS, the Brewers popped bottles bearing the names of every incorporated city in Wisconsin. When they won the NLCS, they popped bottles bearing the names of every player in franchise history who’d appeared in a postseason game. And when they

ST. PETERSBURG -- In March, they celebrated in Florida with beer and champagne, drenching each other in jubilation. In October, they did the exact same thing again.

ST. PETERSBURG -- Jacob Misiorowski was still marveling at the cheers late on Wednesday evening, even after three games’ worth of roars cascading from Tropicana Field’s third-base seats: encouragement from thousands of ticket-holders with Wisconsin addresses and championship dreams. “I’m just so overjoyed,” Misiorowski said, standing in left field, his

ST. PETERSBURG -- The team from MLB’s smallest market. The team so often good enough to get beat by someone bigger. The team that has cycled through swaps of stars, always refining and refurbishing and refilling their roster with keenly acquired talent. The team that gave a shot to a

MILWAUKEE -- The field was empty. The dugouts were deserted. Not a single Brewers player was in sight. But when Trevor Megill recorded the final out of the World Series 1,095 miles away, American Family Field sounded as though the championship had been won right there.
