- The series will produce a first-time champion and likely baseball's first all-indoor championship

The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays will open a best-of-seven World Series on Friday night in Milwaukee. The matchup will produce a first-time champion and likely baseball's first all-indoor championship.
It will be the first World Series between teams without a title since 1980, when Philadelphia defeated Kansas City. Just five of the current 30 teams have never won a championship.
“They're highly athletic but so are we. I'm excited to see two great teams that play the game a little differently than maybe it's been played the last decade or so.”
Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski leads the pitchers with 100 mph-plus fastballs. Each team features a 22-year-old lineup anchor: Jackson Chourio for the Brewers and Junior Caminero for the Rays.
Tampa Bay advanced after defeating Cleveland in six games for the AL pennant. Milwaukee swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games to win the NL Championship Series.
The Brewers began as the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and moved to Milwaukee in 1970. Tampa Bay launched as the Devil Rays in 1998 and dropped the Devil before the 2008 season.
