What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time, beating the Tampa Bay Rays four to one in Game 5 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFifty-seven years, and the title finally lands in a stadium full of catwalks and air conditioning. I'd have liked Wisconsin to see it, but they've been watching from the couch for decades.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJacob Misiorowski pitched nearly six shutout innings before leaving with a right calf cramp, and then told Fox he was getting emotional.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHis words were, "I don't even have words."

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA man with no words, crying on live television. Strangely, that's the most sensible reaction I've heard all week.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCatcher William Contreras is the World Series MVP, hitting eight for twenty-one and winning ten of thirteen robot-umpire challenges.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd Dustin May, who left the Dodgers, now has a fourth ring, tying Mookie Betts for the most among active players.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTen of thirteen against a machine. Gloria, I think the robots just got their first real scouting report.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHis teammate Aaron Ashby said of him, "He posts every day." Even the champion's best skill is online.
