He said he and his ESPN colleagues were going through an exercise where they ranked the top 50 MLB players this season. He reviewed his own choices and realized that he didn't have a single Brewer on his list!

That says something about the clubhouse. No real superstars (although every baseball fan knows the name Christian Yelich). It's a true team effort. And the coaches/manager deserve plenty of credit too.

I like seeing small-market teams thrive. Wish it could reach Pittsburgh!
