Smooth Ride Turns Bumpy at Landing
The Milwaukee Brewers arrived in Florida on a charter flight that stayed steady through most of the trip before a bit of turbulence hit during touchdown. The captain of the United Airlines Boeing 737 was GJ Priester, uncle of right-hander Quinn Priester, while cousin Alex Priester served as first officer. The team used five such flights to transport family members and staff for the series at Tropicana Field.
Light-Hearted Reaction From the Club
Manager Pat Murphy offered a quick remark about the final moments of the flight, comparing the motion to a knuckleball. The crew has ties to Priester Aviation, the charter company founded by the family, and GJ Priester joined United Airlines in 1995.
Pitcher Remains on the Sidelines
Quinn Priester has not appeared for the Brewers since the previous postseason. The 26-year-old began the year on the injured list with right thoracic outlet syndrome and completed eight minor league rehabilitation outings between April 22 and June 8. He underwent season-ending surgery on June 22 to remove a rib and ease pressure on nerves. The club carries a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series heading into Monday's contest.
