Behold, the Bud Selig experience

Milwaukee Brewers fans are experiencing a rare sensation — the joy of an inspired October run. The Brew Crew defied all expectations this year to overtake the mighty Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals and win the NL Central, then sweep the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series — just the third postseason series win in the team's 49 seasons. Now they're facing off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, with the series knotted at one game apiece.

For 48 hours on the last weekend of the regular season, I was an honorary Brewers fan hanging out in Milwaukee, living on nothing but beer, cheese, and brats while rooting for the home team among their exceedingly friendly, long-suffering fans. As an added bonus, I caught a great game at Miller Park — punctuated by home runs from MVP candidate Christian Yelich and former MVP Ryan Braun.
