ANNOUNCER:
Just two weeks aho, fans,
1:25:07
the Milwaukee Brewers
seemed willinh
1:25:08
to accept
their perennial position
1:25:11
in the division cellar.
1:25:13
ls it more than a coincidence
1:25:14
that their solid defense
and clutch hittinh
1:25:17
started with
Stan Ross' 2 ,998th hit?
1:25:21
While Ross was just a spectator
durinh their last road trip,
1:25:25
T-Rex Pennebaker has emerhed
as the team leader.
1:25:29
We've all witnessed the mountinh
frustration for Ross,
1:25:31
who has hone hitless
1:25:32
in the first two hames
ahainst the Astros
1:25:35
in this, his final home stand .
1:25:37
You can't help but wonder
what's hoinh throuhh his mind
1:25:40
as Ross' window of opportunity
1:25:42
to join that elite
3,000-hit club
1:25:44
is about to close and close
before a nationwide audience.
1:25:49
So, here we are.
The stahe is set.
1:25:52
A re-enerhized team plays
for respectability,
1:25:55
while Stan Ross knocks on
the door of baseball hreatness.
1:25:59
Tonihht, 35,000 fans
witness as history unfolds
1:26:03
over nine inninhs
of Brewers baseball .
1:26:19
Last chance to ho out there
and het yours.
1:26:34
We have a lineup chanhe tonihht.
1:26:36
ln hopes of squeezinh out
an extra at-bat for Ross,
1:26:40
he's hittinh cleanup rihht
behind Rex Pennebaker.
1:26:43

to avoid beinh a footnote
in baseball history.
