Brewers star Jackson Chourio joins Ty Cobb in World Series history

MLB history was made Monday night as Milwaukee Brewers star Jackson Chourio delivered a remarkable performance, joining legendary Hall of Famer Ty Cobb in an exclusive World Series record during the team’s dominant 10-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3. At 22 years and 229 days old, Chourio became the youngest player since Cobb in 1908 to record four hits and a stolen base in a World Series game. Cobb was just 21 when he accomplished the feat more than a century ago, placing Chourio among some of baseball’s most memorable postseason performers. The young outfielder went four-for-five at the plate, helping Milwaukee move within one win of its first championship in franchise history. “I was ready,” Chourio said after the game through an interpreter. “I was ready, and I wanted to win today.” MORE: MLB insider compares 2026 Brewers to Yankees dynasty teams Chourio continues remarkable postseason run Chourio has been one of Milwaukee’s biggest offensive contributors throughout the World Series.
