Who was the only Brewer on their 26 man World Series roster that did not make a single appearance in any one of the five games?

I'm going to guess -- and this is just a guess based on the nature of the question -- that the answer is former San Francisco Giant, Kyle Harrison. BTW, and FWLIW, Harrison went 11-5 on the season with 141 strikeouts in 115 2/3 innings. ERA was exactly league average at 4.20. 0.5 WAR. But he had a 2.79 ERA through 21 starts, then was shelled in his last four outings.

Correct.  In fact, he did not play in any of the Brewers post-season games.

Time for a Halloween-related question.

Who was the coach known as The Great Pumpkin?  

Sidenote:  He was in the Marines during WWII and was present at the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

Dee Andros - so named for being a hefty dude in his OSU orange jacket.  Reason I know this is he was assigned to the Marine Corps' 5th Division which trained in Camp Tarawa, located in ranching country on the Big Island (Hawai'i) where I grew up.  The site was chosen because of its proximity to steep cinder cones on the slopes of Mauna Ke'a, which the higher ups decided would provide great training grounds for fighting on similar topography on Iwo Jima. 

My grandma ran one of several general stores in town which was frequented by the GIs - she also made side money doing their laundry.  We'd still have visiting vets stop by to say hi to her and my dad up until I left for the Farm in the late 1970's. 
The commemorative monument for the camp shown in the linked article is ~ a quarter mile from the old family property, as the crow - oops, mynah bird - flies.

1931. Babe Ruth wins his final home run crown (46), has 162 RBIs, bats .373, hits his 600th home run on his way to 714 and leads the league in WAR for the 11th and last time, had slugging average of .700, and an OPS of 1.195. His career marks in those categories are all-time MLB leaders, same with OPS+, rOBA and Rbat

He ordered bats from Louisville Slugger, Hillerich and Bradsby model.

Five years later, one year after Ruth retired, Ruth sent his last 1931 bat to his wife's cousin, a budding MLB rookie.

Who was that rookie?

The bid for the bat is now up to $80,000.

Incidentally, what I didn't know about Ruth's bat was that I'd always heard he used an ultra-heavy 48 ounce bat, which he did early in his career. In fact, his heaviest factory-ordered bat was 51 ounces in 1922, and he at least experimented with bats up to 54 ounces. His most frequently ordered bat was 42 ounces, then in 1926 (when he turned 30), all of his bats were in the 36-40 ounce range and in his greatest year, the year of 60 home runs (1927) his bat was 38.5 ounces, then from 1928 to 1932, all of his bats were between 35 and 36 ounces. From 1933 to the end of his career in 1935, he dropped to 35 ounces.

By way of comparison, Barry Bonds used a 31-33 ounce bat, Aaron used a 33 ounce bat, Mays' bats were between 33 and 35 ounces.

Williams, 33
