Milwaukee’s Moment

After brewing for 57 seasons, Milwaukee has won the World Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday (watch the final out), and catcher William Contreras, who batted .381 against the Rays, was named Series MVP. The Brew Crew looked good all year, winning a franchise-record 103 regular-season games and boasting an 11-2 postseason record.

Wisconsin Avenue’s long-awaited parade is today.

Meanwhile, in the WNBA, the Atlanta Dream beat the Golden State Valkyries 80-69 in a matinee matchup yesterday (12:30 p.m. ET); tip-off was bumped from primetime to lunchtime because of a regular-season NBA game using Atlanta’s arena. Dream owners say the league brushed off schedule warnings they raised two months ago. San Francisco will host the W’s first-ever Finals Game 7 tomorrow night.

Verse to consider whether you’re starting the day in triumph, defeat, or just with an overstuffed to-do list… “Because of the LORD’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!”
