Brewers catcher William Contreras makes World Series history against Rays
In Game 3 of the 2026 World Series, the Milwaukee Brewers rout the Tampa Bay Rays 10‑1, and catcher William Contreras cements his place in history by recording his third straight caught stealing—making him the first catcher since Darren Daulton in 1993 to achieve three CS in the first three World Series games. Contreras also tallied three hits, an RBI and finished the series with seven hits in 13 at‑bats, bolstering his World Series MVP case. His defensive prowess, highlighted by 25 regular‑season CS (second in MLB), could see him become the first catcher to win Series MVP since Salvador Perez in 2015 if Milwaukee clinches the title.
Milwaukee Brewers: Robert Gasser makes World Series history will brilliant Game 3 performance
Rookie left‑hander Robert Gasser cements his place in World Series lore with a six‑inning shutout in Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 26, 2026. Allowing just one hit, one walk and striking out three, Gasser became the first left‑handed pitcher to face the minimum batters through six innings since Sandy Koufax in 1965. The Brewers, who gave Gasser a mid‑season call‑up after a 5.24 ERA early on, see him dominate the postseason with a 0.60 ERA in three starts, emerging as their top pitcher this October. The historic performance helped Milwaukee clinch the win in St. Petersburg, with key defensive plays from William Contreras and the infield.

Woodruff allowed an inconsequential run, then confirmed he’d been ready to open Game 4, crediting trainer Bryn for his comeback. The comeback story underscores Milwaukee’s first‑ever championship push.

Chourio, who missed the season’s first month with a hand fracture, already boasts 20‑20 seasons for three straight years and now sits at .571/.571/.643 in the Fall Classic, adding two RBI and three steals to Milwaukee’s offense.

Canada’s MLB Fanship Compared to America’s: How Do They Scale Relatively?
The article contrasts MLB fandom in the United States and Canada, highlighting that the U.S.'s 350‑million population yields a vastly larger fan base than Canada's 40‑million, with Canadians accounting for just over 10% of U.S. viewership. In Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays serve as a de‑facto national team, leading to more casual, nationwide support rather than regional loyalty. While Canadian TV ratings can hit 6‑10 million (spiking to over 10 million in playoffs), U.S. games regularly draw 15‑20 million and up to 30 million for postseason matches. The piece argues that these demographic and cultural differences explain why MLB focuses on its primary American market and lags behind the NBA or NFL in international growth.
