  "account": "On the opening day of the 122nd World Series matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, Jacob Misiorowski hurled the quickest recorded pitch in World Series history. The 24-year-old right-hander's fastball reached 103.5 mph, shattering the previous record set by Aroldis Chapman in 2016. Misiorowski played a crucial role in the Brewers' 3-2 home win over the Rays, limiting them to a single run over five innings. The sell-out crowd of 43,250 fans celebrated the Brewers' first World Series appearance since 1982.",
