  Odd to see this here but I’ll comment! From Milwaukee, live here still, watch >95% of Brewer games all season and this is by far the best team I’ve ever witnessed. Entire year after the 13-13 start while some of the team was recovering from the Venezuela WBC win, we won at an absurd rate. Still had the worry about playoff mini choking, but every part of our lineup from batters and pitchers were all so good.Best thing for me about this is we were the best regular season team, best in the playoffs, and considered deserving and the clear winner. Doesn’t happen too often and that makes it feel a lot better than just getting hot at the right time.I just love baseball, love the Brewers, and can’t believe they won.

  I live in the US, and have heard nothing at all about this. What surprises me is this never used to happen when I was a kid.

  The Brewers' legendary beloved announcer Bob Uecker, who recently died at 90, and whose name adorned fans' signs during the game, was known for playing insane pranks:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmbtT5ii5F8(Caution: language)

  Was fun to have a Series in which each team was the best in its league and in which each team was competing for its first championship. I’m a Red Sox fan, and I remember 2004. It’s a tremendous experience as a fan (of the team or just of baseball). Go Brew Crew.

  I thought it was a great series, and an incredible postseason run by the Brewers. Congrats to them!Often the team that feels like the Team of Destiny is an underdog coming back from a horrible start to the season or whatever, but this year the Brewers were both the most dominant team in MLB and the team that felt like the Team of Destiny. There's something wonderful about seeing a team that has never won a chip before finally win it all, and in such a resounding fashion.How can you not be romantic about baseball!

  As a Giants fan, was fun watching them dope-slap the Dodgers.Great series for the Brewers. Well-deserved!

  That leaves just the San Diego Padres (founded in 1969), Seattle Mariners (1977), Colorado Rockies (1993) and Tampa Bay Rays (1998) left who have never won a World Series.Since this is baseball, I might as well provide the other stats I just pulled up as that's very much in the spirit of the game:21 teams have won more than once: Yankees (27), Cardinals (11), Athletics (9), Red Sox (9), Dodgers (9), Giants (8), Pirates (5), Reds (5), Tigers (4), Braves (4), Cubs (3), White Sox (3), Twins (3), Orioles (3), Phillies (2), Guardians (2), Mets (2), Royals (2), Blue Jays (2), Marlins (2), Astros (2).5 teams have won just once: Angels, Diamondbacks, Nationals, Rangers, Brewers.The Mariners are the only team to never have played in the Series.It's been 78 years since Cleveland last won. Followed by Pittsburgh (47), Baltimore (43) and Detroit (42), not counting the two teams that have never won above - San Diego (58) and Seattle (50).The longest gaps between Series wins are the Cubs at 107 years (1908-2016), White Sox at 87 years (1917-2005) and Red Sox at 85 years (1918-2004).And in case you're unaware, the first World Series was played in 1903.That's 124 total scheduled championship seasons (1903 through 2026), minus 2 canceled seasons (1904 boycott and 1994 strike) for a total of 122 World Series.

  Any time the Dodgers or Yankees don't win the World Series, that's a reason to celebrate.
