'Beast' Sabathia delivers postseason back to Milwaukee

"It kind of felt scripted," Braun said. "It's difficult to put into words, what it means to me, my teammates, this organization and this city."

What does playoff baseball look like in Milwaukee? What does it mean to this blue-collar city?

"This is big," Sabathia said. "This city has waited a long time. This city is great. They deserve it."

"It's something I'll never forget," Braun said. "I'll forever cherish it. I'll always remember the feeling. It couldn't have been done by a better group of guys."

Oh, and at 24, Braun hadn't yet been born, either, the last time these Brewers were in the playoffs.

Old Milwaukee. New day.
