What happened: Milwaukee secured the National League pennant and a home World Series date. The berth follows a 2024 exchange in which Robin Yount told Jackson Chourio he hoped Chourio would feel statewide support.

Why it matters: The winner of this World Series will claim the franchise's first title. The Milwaukee berth ends a four-decade wait for a home Fall Classic and centers the next champion on a first-time winner.

What to watch: Game 1 is scheduled for Friday in Milwaukee.
