As the Milwaukee Brewers sit and watch the World Series at home yet again, they can at least take pride in one of their former pitchers playing an important role in the Toronto Blue Jays' upset bid.
While there aren't a ton of former members of the Crew on either roster -- though quite a few Wisconsin natives are taking part in the Fall Classic -- Eric Lauer has been a standout for the Jays all season.
The four-year Milwaukee veteran landed back in the majors in 2025 after having to settle for minor league and international contracts last year, and he's more than made good on Toronto's faith in him.
