A Milwaukee native who moved to Israel in 1993 writes a first-person account of watching the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series championship in 2026, celebrating with his 86-year-old mother. The article focuses on family memories, his father's love of baseball, and the 1982 Brewers team known as Harvey's Wallbangers.
