After one day of reprieve, baseball transitions to its postseason tournament. That begins tonight with the Nationals hosting the Brewers, in a matchup of Max Scherzer and Brandon Woodruff+Friends. My firmly held belief is that we need a heralded trophy celebrating the best record-holding team in the regular season a la the Supporter’s Shield in MLS, so as to deliver a greater sense of worth in the populous to regular season excellence. The World Series now awaits, and it makes for my favorite sort of high-stakes, nonsense baseball, but we should recognize sustained greatness with hardware as well.
