MYLES TURNER WALKED onto the baseball diamond and headed toward the pitcher's mound. He was wearing a custom No. 3 Milwaukee Brewers jersey.
It was a sleepy Sunday on Sept. 28, the final day of MLB's regular season, and the Brewers had already secured the best record in baseball. The crowd began to roar in anticipation as Milwaukee's newest 7-footer headed toward the mound.
Turner hopped over the freshly painted first-base foul line and raised his hand to acknowledge the crowd, pumping his fist as it continued to cheer. On the mound, he made a brief sidestep for a windup and delivered the first pitch as the crowd continued its warm welcome.
