He had his first MLB-issued division championship shirt (soaked) and his first MLB-issued division championship hat (backward), but he sported no goggles in sight. This was not a sign of inexperience. Their absence was his choice. “There’s something about the burn,” said Arenado, his eyes stinging from the Champagne and beer sprayed into them. “It hurts, but it feels so good at the same time. It’s like a regular season, man, it hurts so good. It hurts and there are moments when it’s really bad and then there are times it’s really good. And right now, it’s great.” When he wasn’t being chased by Lars Nootbaar or interviewed by Lars Nootbaar or posing with photos with Albert Pujols, Arenado stepped back to soak in something he had never experienced before. Nine Gold Glove awards, seven All-Star Games, four Silver Slugger Awards, 299 home runs, and 1,380 games as the most decorated third baseman of his generation, and on a late September night in Milwaukee Arenado finally quenched a thirst with a career first: A division crown. “We got him for that reason,” starter Miles Mikolas said. “And however many more years he’s going to be here and we’re all going to be here, that’s how many divisions we’re going to win.” [/QUOTE]
