Brewers manager says of flight piloted by pitcher's uncle: 'I didn’t know Quinn threw a knuckleball'
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was quick with a quip for the pilot crew of the charter flight that brought the team to Florida for World Series Game 3. The plane was captained by GJ Priester, uncle of Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester, with cousin Alex Priester as first officer. "Hey, thanks, guys. I didn’t know Quinn threw a knuckleball,” Murphy said after a little turbulence during the landing. The Brewers held a 2-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays going into Game 3 on Monday.
Quinn Priester hasn't pitched since last year's NL Championship Series due to surgery.
