Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy light-heartedly compared turbulence on their charter flight to a knuckleball, after a bumpy landing in Florida for World Series Game 3. The flight was piloted by GJ Priester, uncle of Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester. As the Brewers lead the best-of-seven series 2-0 against the Tampa Bay Rays, Murphy appreciated the flight crew's attention to detail despite a rough landing. Quinn Priester, recovering from surgery, has not pitched since last year's NL Championship Series and is not expected to play in the World Series.
