Can you smell that? It’s October baseball. And it’s not far off. Just a few more series to go here in September before another thrilling edition of MLB playoff baseball begins.
And one team that will certainly be around come October is the Milwaukee Brewers, which is why lifelong Brewers fan and 620 WTMJ personality Trenni Kusnierek is our guest on the latest edition of the MLB Trivia Challenge Podcast sponsored by the M&A advisors and consultants at Generational Equity, where they are experts in guiding middle-market business owners along the process of selling a business.
Jerod and Trenni take a stab at one of Ari’s more challenging sextet of questions, and then they turn their attention to Trenni’s beloved Brew Crew.
Trenni discusses her confidence level heading towards the postseason, her thoughts on the Brewers’ potential playoff matchups, who should get the ball Game 1, and her feelings about Prince Fielder’s strange and untimely recent comments.
And she also briefly discusses a most exciting achievement of hers from this past summer that you’ll definitely want to hear about.
You can follow Trenni on Twitter or track her thoughts about the Brewers, Packers, and other sports issues here at her blog Kusnierek’s Korner.

A few final notes you need to know before we let you have at it:
- LISTEN to the podcast; each week we will be including one bonus question taken directly from our discussion.
- ONLY your first entry counts, for the weekly prize and grand prize.
- MAKE SURE you use the same UserID throughout the season. This is how we will keep track of your scores.
- PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the instructions after each question. Due to the parameters of the quiz program we are using, and our inability to hand-grade thousands of quizzes each week, we must request that you very specific and particular in how you answer the questions. Thus, you MUST spell names correctly. Think of it this way: attention to detail is paramount in baseball, so shouldn’t it be part of the challenge? Absolutely.
And now, drumroll the please, we give you your chance to answer. Have fun!
