Pennant

Strange Brew Podcast, season one, episode 409, the World Series, the Pennant episode.

Cue the music.

[upbeat music] Pew, pew, pew.

What an episode we get to do today, everybody.

How many times have you said the words, "The Milwaukee Brewers are in the World Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers win the NL Pennant"? I can't say it enough.

Stomp your feet.

Clap your hands.

They play them again 7:00 today.

If they win today, they win the Pennant.

So, uh, so-

Whoa

...

it only happened once in my lifetime, so that'll be exciting.

When I was a kid in 1982, the Brewers won the Pennant, and then they went on to lose the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals.

But, uh, that's the only other time in, in the last 55 years that they've won the Pennant.

And that was certainly very vividly shown before this ballgame began.

When, as the guest of President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Ball Club, Those numbers who could get here of the 1916 Pennant winning team were introduced.

Henrik swings a ground ball, hit on the right field for a base hit.

The zero goes down to second base, then goes on for third.

One game doesn't mean too much, and especially with the Colfax coming up.

Sandy was the pitcher that was in the winning game to Clint the Pennant last Saturday.

He always seems to be up when he's needed.

Ian Drysdale, of course, have been the front-running pitchers on this Dodger club now for a number of years.

So the World Series will start Saturday, and it'll either be the Pirates or the Giants, and at this moment, the Pirates are in the driver's seat in that National League playoff series, leading two games to one over the San Francisco Giants as they won a squeaker today by a two to one score at Pittsburgh.

Five to three is the final, and once again, the Baltimore Orioles are the American League Pennant champions, uh, in baseball.

Well, the next Oriole broadcast will be Saturday when the Orioles meet the National League Pennant winners, either San Francisco or Pittsburgh, at Baltimore.

Our producer engineer for this American League Championship Series game has been Ken Kimball.

Now this is John Gordon, along with Chuck Thompson and Bill O'Donnell, saying so long from Oakland.

And once again, the final score, the Orioles win the American League Pennant five to three over Oakland.
