Jacob Misiorowski's Hat, Ashby's Glasses & All Brewers Artifacts Added to HOF After World Series Run

The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday evening.

Items from their Fall Classic run will now be donated to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, including ace pitcher Jacon Misiorowski's Game 5 hat and left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby's iconic glasses.

All of the items are significant, of course.

Contreras was a defensive wizard behind the plate, throwing out four runners and guiding a fantastic Brewers staff that allowed just 12 runs over five games. He also fared well in his ABS challenge efforts, with 10 of his 13 calls overturned.

Manager Pat Murphy was promoted from bench coach to manager when Craig Counsell left town for the Chicago Cubs three years ago, and he's since led the Brewers to three NL Central titles and win totals of 93, 97 and 103.

This year's team was the best of all, of course, and is just one of eight teams in the past 40 years to win 100 or more regular season games and the World Series in the same year.

Ashby threw 18 scoreless innings in these playoffs, striking out 20 while allowing just five hits and three walks. Right fielder Sal Frelick hit a game-tying solo home run in Game 2 to help turn a 4-0 first-inning deficit into a 5-4 win.

Left fielder Christian Yelich, the Brewers' captain, has been with the team for nine seasons. He's made three All-Star Games and won the National League MVP in 2018.

Pratt was sensational in Games 4 and 5. He nearly was the hero in Game 4, hitting a solo homer in the top of the 12th to give Milwaukee a 3-2 lead before Tampa Bay came back for a 4-3 win. That gave him four hits. Pratt then added two RBI and a run in Game 5.

Misiorowski, the presumptive National League Cy Young winner, threw 5.2 shutout innings in Game 5, putting the Brewers in an advantageous position for the series clincher.

Second baseman Brice Turang had a pair of hits (including a double) and a run in Game 5. His 100 RBI this season led the team.
