What happened: The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time, ending a 57-year wait that began with the franchise's 1969 debut. The Bucks ended their own 50-year title drought in 2021, putting both Milwaukee teams' championships in the 2020s.

Why it matters: Milwaukee now has two major-league titles in six seasons after decades without one. The Bucks had already publicly backed the Brewers ahead of the World Series.

By the numbers: Brewers: 57 years without a title since the 1969 debut. Bucks: 50 years between championships, 1971 to 2021.

What to watch: The Bucks open their NBA season as the city celebrates the Brewers' title.
