Summary
Milwaukee celebrates its first World Series victory with a grand parade, expecting a crowd of 400,000. The festivities kick off downtown at 10 a.m. and culminate in a fan rally at Meyer Festival Park. Among the honorees is first baseman Jake Bowers, who overcame a challenging career phase to become a postseason hero, hitting a career-high 26 home runs this season and earning MVP honors in the National League Championship Series.
In other news, an eighth grader from Washington State, Andrew Sun Zhuang, wins a national science competition for his AI-powered baseball pitching machine, Vision Strike. This innovative device personalizes practice by identifying a batter's strike zone and delivering pitches accordingly. Zhuang receives a $3,500 educational stipend for his achievement.
As Halloween approaches, Americans prepare for the end of daylight saving time, providing an extra hour of sleep this weekend. Meanwhile, President Trump designates Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona as the newest national park, featuring unique rock formations and diverse wildlife. The Breeders' Cup World Championships also kick off in Kentucky, with horses from eight countries competing for over $34 million in prizes, including last year's winner, Forever Young.
