If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

The Mets, White Sox and Guardians had ridiculous rookie classes this year Ever wonder how they stack up with the top team's rookie classes of the 30-team era? Spoiler: They stack up pretty well baseballamerica.com/stories/…

Tremendous job by Kwan fighting to catch this LD hit on his glove side so he could aggressively move through it. Athletic one handed tag by Bailey on the receiving end.

Congratulations to the Brewers! They are the first Central Division team, either league, to win a pennant in 10 years The Cubs-Indians World Series in 2016 was the last to feature a Central team

The Brewers are the 19th MLB franchise to reach the World Series in the last 15 years. (Teams to reach the finals in other leagues: NHL-18, NBA-14, NFL-13) Whoever wins now will be the 11th different champion in 15 years. (Other leagues: NBA-12, NHL-10, NFL-9)

I think the fans are liking the brand of baseball being played. We see it in Milwaukee, Cleveland, Tampa and the Dodgers are no strangers to playing baseball the right way. Pitching, defense, strategies. All of it! It’s loud and fun to watch! I love it!
