What happened: This Week in Baseball highlighted a 1989 profile of Robin Yount from the season of his second American League MVP award. Milwaukee's lone World Series appearance came in 1982, when the club played in the American League behind Yount.

Why it matters: Yount earned AL MVP honors in 1982 and 1989, anchoring the franchise's only pennant winner. The lookback arrives with Milwaukee Brewers playing October baseball in the National League during the 2026 postseason.

By the numbers: Yount won AL MVP in 1982 and 1989. Milwaukee's 1982 pennant remains its only World Series trip.
