Mid-Week Mood Boost!
WIN OR LOSE 💙 Even after a disappointing loss, Pat Murphy took the time to learn the name and backstory of every new face in the press room last night — to make them feel at home in his ballpark.
CLASS ACT 👏🏾
You’ll notice there are more than 26 players in the Brewers dugout this postseason ⚾️ That’s because they invite the guys that didn’t make the official roster, but helped the team in one way or another during the regular season!
Clubs don’t HAVE to do this, but — to the Brewers — TEAM is EVERYTHING 👏🏾
PAYBACK 😆 Every year, students at southeast Wisconsin’s Hartford High School “TP” the school during Homecoming week.
Usually, officers respond and hand out a few “citations,” but THIS year, they decided it was time to give students “a taste of their own medicine” by getting even at the Homecoming football game!
"No arrests, no lectures — just some good old-fashioned payback and a whole lot of laughter," the department posted.
GOOD NEWS UPDATE 🚨 Peyton — the 6th grader from Caledonia who hosted a lemonade stand on her birthday to raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin — ended up raising more than $2,800!
More than 150 people showed up — including the entire Guardians of the Children Belle City Chapter on their motorcycles.
Charlie Kirk would’ve turned 32 this if he wasn’t killed by gun violence — but at least he got 25 more years than the TWENTY 6 & 7 year olds murdered in their classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 💔
