What happened: Operating as one of three league correspondents in Milwaukee, Payton Tolle sat down with Junior Caminero ahead of the 122nd Fall Classic. The exchange paired Tolle's media assignment with a direct callback to their head-to-head history on the field.

Why it matters: Caminero enters his first Fall Classic after he homered off the foul pole in ALCS Game 6 to build a 5-1 seventh-inning lead and help clinch the pennant. The 2026 title matchup guarantees a first-time World Series champion.

By the numbers: Caminero's ALCS Game 6 home run trot lasted 38.66 seconds, the longest recorded in MLB postseason history.

What to watch: Game 1 of the World Series starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET on FOX and FOX One.
