Jacob Misiorowski Shines in Rookie Campaign with Brewers

The **Milwaukee Brewers** are a professional Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, competing in the National League (NL) Central Division. Founded in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots, the franchise relocated to Milwaukee in 1970, adopting the Brewers name, a nod to Milwaukee's historic brewing industry. Initially struggling with poor performance and financial instability, the Brewers gradually improved with the arrival of Hall of Famers Robin Yount (1974) and Paul Molitor (1978), becoming competitive in the early 1980s. Their peak achievement was winning the American League pennant in 1982 and reaching the World Series, where they lost a close seven-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals. This remains their only World Series appearance to date[1][2][3]. The Brewers spent their first 29 seasons in the American League before switching to the National League in 1998. Since moving to their current home, American Family Field (formerly Miller Park) with a capacity of around 41,900, the team has made 11 postseason appearances, capturing seven division titles and three wild card spots. Despite these successes, Milwaukee is among the few MLB teams yet to win a World Series, holding the second-longest active championship drought behind the Cleveland Guardians[2][3]. The organization is owned by Mark Attanasio and employs between 1,000 and 5,000 staff. The team’s colors are navy blue, yellow, and royal blue, reflecting Milwaukee’s brewing tradition. As of 2025, the Brewers maintain a strong competitive status, finishing first in the NL Central with a 97–65 record and a deep farm system contributing promising prospects. Their blend of historical legacy, dedicated fan base, and strategic talent development keeps them a significant and engaging MLB franchise within both business and sports technology circles[2][4][6][7][9].

## Overview The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Los Angeles, California, renowned as one of the most storied and successful franchises in professional sports. As a sports organization, the Dodgers compete in MLB’s National League (NL) West division, fielding a roster of elite athletes and operating a state-of-the-art facility, Dodger Stadium, which is among the most iconic venues in baseball. ## History The Dodgers’ roots trace back to Brooklyn, New York, where they were established in 1883. The team moved to Los Angeles in 1958, becoming a cultural touchstone in Southern California. Over the decades, the Dodgers have built a tradition of excellence, marked by a commitment to both developing homegrown talent and aggressively pursuing established stars through free agency and trades[4]. This dual approach has been central to their sustained success. ## Key Achievements The Dodgers have won multiple World Series titles, with their most recent championship coming in 2020. They have been particularly dominant in the NL West, winning the division title in every season from 2013 to 2023 except for 2021, and surpassing 90 wins in all but the pandemic-shortened 2020 season[4]. The team has reached the 100-win mark five times in recent years, underscoring their regular-season prowess[4]. Despite frequent playoff appearances, the Dodgers faced criticism for a period of postseason struggles, including narrow losses in the 2017 and 2018 World Series—controversies amplified by subsequent revelations of sign-stealing by opponents[4]. ## Current Status As of October 2025, the Dodgers finished the regular season with a 93-69 record, securing first place in the NL West[3][5]. The team is known for its potent offense, ranking second in the league in runs scored and home runs, though its pitching staff ranks middle-of-the-pack[5]. The Dodgers are
