Brewers tab Gio to start Game 1 of NLCS

MILWAUKEE -- The whole season has been a dream for Christian Yelich, really, and it keeps getting better. It's about to continue with a National League Championship Series against his boyhood team.

Yelich grew up in Thousand Oaks, Calif., just up the 101 freeway from Dodger Stadium. He attended too many Dodgers games as a kid to count, starting with a climb to the powder blue seats in the upper deck as a seven-year-old. More recently, he found a spot in the stands for an October game during the Dodgers' recent run of postseason appearances.

HOUSTON -- This American League Championship Series between the Astros and Red Sox might be one in which fans look back on a few years down the line and marvel at the star power.
