The World Series kicks off in just two days, and get this: we are guaranteed a debutant champion in Major League Baseball. Yeah, for the first time since 1980, both teams squaring off have never clinched the big one before. We’re talking about the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays. So, who are you riding with? For me, it is an absolute no-brainer.
Brew Crew All The Way, Baby!
I’ve spent time in both Tampa and Milwaukee, and trust me, there is a clear winner here. Milwaukee is easily one of my favorite mid-size cities in the entire country. Their downtown? It’s basically a mini-Chicago, just way more chill. And when you get out to the outer neighborhoods, you find these awesome little bars where people are hammering nails into a giant tree stump in a game called Stump. It is seriously delightful. Then there’s Miller Park itself. Sure, it can feel a little on the dark and grayscale side, but who cares when the place is almost always packed to the gills? The fans there *know* their baseball, and they are absolutely INTO it. That kind of energy makes a huge difference.
Tampa? Nah, We’ll Pass.
Now, Tampa? Let’s just say it’s not quite the same vibe. Honestly, it feels like an overgrown strip mall, and the one cool neighborhood they have is miles away from their stadium. And that stadium? It’s a perpetually empty dump. Seriously, who wants to watch a championship series in a place like that? It is just not going to cut it. So yeah, you know where I stand.
It’s going to be a wild series, knowing one of these franchises is about to make history. Let’s go Brew Crew!
