Major League Baseballmlb Of the past 43 teams that have fallen 3–0 in a best-of-seven playoff series, only the 2004 Boston Red Sox have won four consecutive games to comeback. That year, the Red Sox set this amazing record by defeating the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
Brewers fans had been waiting for this moment since the 1970s. The team was founded in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots and moved to Milwaukee the following year.
Thousands of fans traveled from Wisconsin to Florida to watch the game last night, where Rays fans were waving cowbells and causing a ruckus. Most Brewers fans were seated behind the visiting team’s dugout and at third base, and the Brewers’ 10–1 victory over the Rays gave them every reason to cheer.
Brewers player Garrett Mitchell said: “There are a lot of Brewers fans here, and the hot atmosphere can really be felt. In fact, it has been evident since yesterday’s batting practice. When we were doing stretching exercises, we could already hear the voices of the fans. They kept chanting, ‘Go Brewers!’ It’s really special to get such support on the street. Very special.”
Since the Brewers have already clinched the card, it is expected that more fans will come to the stadium to support them in Game 4. The Rays must win to have a chance to take the series back to Milwaukee.

Brewers captain Christian Yelich said after Game 3: “It’s really great! From the beginning of batting practice to the end of the whole game, the fans were so loud.”
He added: “I’ve said it many times, the fans have shown tremendous enthusiasm this year, both in Milwaukee and on the road. We understand how much of an impact this team and our performance on the field has had on the happiness of the people of Milwaukee. How many people have created cherished memories over the years by attending Brewers games, whether it be with family, friends, parents, grandparents or significant others.”
“So, I know this team will never take that responsibility lightly. I also know that we mean a lot to a lot of people, and that’s a big reason why we work so hard and give it our all.”
Milwaukee’s only previous trip to the World Series was in 1982, but it ended with heartbreaking memories. At that time, in the 6th inning of Game 7, the Brewers still held a 3–1 lead, but had been upset by the St. Louis Cardinals. They ultimately lost 3–6 and missed the championship.
