The Oakland A’s will be mourned, despite what the owner wants you to believe: Carig

In Milwaukee, you can still drink at Harvey Kuenn’s old tavern and you can sit at the bar from “Major League.” You can have a beer in Bernie Brewer’s chalet and play wiffle ball at a baseball-themed brewery. An iconic city for beer and baseball. nytimes.com/athletic/7714926

My first ball writing job was in 2016, covering the Rays as an intern. They were last place, terrible. No one went to games. Tonight was cool to see.

Don’t call it a fairy tale, not when a team has won 110 times this year. Call it a chance to prove, at last, that Milwaukee can win it all.

Hi @kellyclarkson I talked to Art Of Play co-owner Adam Rubin who wants to send you this message in part “We hold no ill will against Kelly Clarkson, we invite her to come back and enjoy the store. But, we find her gross abuse of power completely reprehensible, and she should face social consequences.” @1010WINS let us know if we can interview you to follow-up.

It's been a long year for Nathaniel Lowe. He lost his mom in March; he still hasn't processed it. He's lived in a dozen Airbnbs. He fought for a roster spot. He got traded. So, that signature moment in Game 1 felt pretty good. "What else can you ask for?" nytimes.com/athletic/7679164


After a season of loss and uncertainty, Nathaniel Lowe found his October moment (Gift Article)

Lowe's mother passed away earlier in the season. He has devoted every at-bat since to honoring her.
