What happened: Milwaukee reached the 2026 World Series with the franchise's first championship on the line. The city's last Series win came in 1957 with Wes Covington in left field.

Why it matters: A title would end a 69-year wait for Milwaukee stretching back to the Braves. Covington spent his final 30 years in Edmonton working for the Sun, linking that past club to Canada.

What to watch: The Series will decide whether Milwaukee secures its first crown in nearly seven decades.
