The 2017 Milwaukee Brewers were one game away from making the playoffs. It turns out the 2018 Milwaukee Brewers were one game away from making the World Series.
We can all hope the next progression leaves us feeling better than we do tonight.
Regardless of how it ended, this was, simply put, a magical season.
Early on, it felt like that magic could translate into the team’s first World Series appearance in 36 years. Christian Yelich, this year’s presumptive National League MVP, the man who carried the Brewers across the line so many times in the second half when no one else in the lineup could, gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a screaming line drive of a home run that barely got high enough off the ground to clear the fence.
