Game 2 of the World Series was an entertaining mix of clutch hitting, bad defense and heroics from unexpected sources as the Brewers engineered a 5-4 comeback win over the Rays to take a 2-0 lead in the series. ✍️: @ByJasonFoster sportandstate.com/2026/10/24…

Networks should go back to hiring active players as postseason sideline/clubhouse reporters and color men like they did in the '70s and '80s. Reggie Jackson, Tom Seaver, Don Sutton and others were regulars. It was always a fun wrinkle in the broadcast. Bring it back!
Payton Tolle had the chance to interview Junior Caminero at World Series Media Day His most-pressing question: How did Caminero hit a home run against him? 🤣

"Space Camp" forever.
Tom Skerritt, the plucky and handsome actor who charmed audiences on both the big and small screen in titles ranging from “Top Gun” to “Picket Fences,” has died. He was 93. cnn.it/4k5cciE

One minute, you’re watching the game. The next, some fan is the biggest celebrity online. How TV crews help turn ordinary fans like Florida's Peyton Blomquist into viral stars. On @SportNState. sportandstate.com/2026/10/21…

I’m a native Charlottean, born five months before this happened, and I had never heard of it until now. Good story.
50 years ago TODAY, the world's largest hot-air balloon crashed in Charlotte. The fatal accident killed 3, spared others and has remained a forgotten mystery - until now. Here's what we found out about "The Day The Balloon Crashed" - FREE gift link: charlotteobserver.com/news/l…

If you enjoy all-around good baseball, you're going to love watching the Rays and Brewers battle in the World Series starting Friday night in Milwaukee. It's the best vs. the best, as it should be. So you can safely ignore the haters, writes @ByJasonFoster. sportandstate.com/2026/10/20…

A Rays-Brewers World Series is how the 2026 season needed to end. The best in the AL vs. the best in the NL. Two complete teams going at it. It's gonna be fun. Don't listen to the haters.

You can look it up if you want, who was the oldest player in #MLB when you first started watching it? For me, Nolan Ryan in 1993 - he was 46 years old. Cannot wait to read your replies.

The Brewers took down the two-time defending champion Dodgers in a four-game NLCS sweep, and now they’re off to the World Series for the first time in 44 years. They're throwing it back '80s style in more ways than one, writes @ByJasonFoster. sportandstate.com/2026/10/16…

I don't get the criticism of Joe Davis in this series. He's been a total pro.
