The Milwaukee Brewers have played in a World Series, although they've never won one.
But a look back at that World Series history reveals a quirk that's a hard one to fathom if you aren't well-versed in baseball history.
The only time the Brewers have reached the Fall Classic was 1982. They lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.
That season, the Brewers represented the American League.
They have never won a National League pennant after switching leagues.
They'll get the chance now after advancing to the NLCS with a five-game NLDS series win over the Chicago Cubs.
The Brewers are one of five MLB teams to never win a World Series.
Milwaukee broke into baseball as an AL team.
The Brewers didn't move to the NL until 1998 after MLB's most recent expansion, which made it a 30-team league.
They were in the AL since 1969, appearing in all three American League divisions at various times before their shift to the NL Central when the Rays and Diamondbacks joined MLB.
Now, the Brewers will play for their first ever National League pennant. And after being one of the best teams in baseball all year, they'll have a real chance.
