As we enter the home stretch of the 1969 WPK season, it is looking more and more like the Brewers will be taking on the reigning WPK champions, the Columbus Whalers, in the World Series.
Team captain, Abel Pennington, is doing his best to keep the team focused on one day at a time, getting support from veteran leader Daniel Torres, and some of the younger budding future captains in the clubhouse- Josh McEwen and Andrew Kennedy- in using their influence to make sure the club doesn't take anything for granted coming down the stretch. Meanwhile, team prankster Miguel Solis continues to keep things light and loose in the clubhouse. Although the club has never made the post-season, it is thought that with a few veterans with World Series experience with other clubs- Will Smart with Portland in 1967, Ryan Rodgers- who has a championship ring as a member of the 1967 Washington Night Train, and Jared Stephenson- who not only has 2 championship rings as a Jacksonville Wolf Pack player in 1965 and 1966 but was the MVP of the 1965 World Series- the team shouldn't be too overwhelmed if and when the time comes.
But the time has not yet come and the battle goes on. Up next- a pair of games at L.A. where the Brewers hope to get revenge for the recent sweep at the hands of the Spinners in Denver.
