Fresno Visalia, CA, October 25, 2026 —
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy made a humorous remark about the pilot of the team’s charter flight to Florida for World Series Game 3, according to the available account. Murphy quipped that he did not know pitcher Quinn’s uncle could throw a knuckleball.
The remark linked the flight’s pilot to a pitcher’s family member and the baseball pitch known as a knuckleball. The account does not explain what prompted Murphy’s comment or provide further details about the pilot, the flight or the exchange.
The summary identifies the pitcher only as Quinn; it does not give a first name or other identifying information. It also does not state when the remark was made, where Murphy was speaking, or whether anyone else was present. No verbatim quotation beyond the reported paraphrase was provided, so the remark is presented here without quotation marks.
The available information does not describe the circumstances of the World Series game, the Brewers’ travel arrangements beyond the charter flight to Florida, or any response to Murphy’s joke. It also does not provide additional comments from Murphy, Quinn or the pilot.
As a result, the reported detail is limited to Murphy’s humorous observation about the pilot and Quinn’s uncle. Further context about the exchange was not included in the summary.
