An ode to the near misses: The Milwaukee Brewers are back in the World Series for the first time since 1982

The Milwaukee Brewers have reached the World Series for the first time since 1982, ending a 43-year drought. The 1982 team, known as "Harvey's Wallbangers" and featuring players like Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, won the pennant but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. The current Brewers will face the Tampa Bay Rays, with Christian Yelich emphasizing that reaching the World Series is just the first step toward winning it all.
