I have lived in Wisconsin all of my life. I remember going to Atlanta 30 years ago for two weeks and seeing advertisements for Atlanta Falcons tickets. What? I am very naive living in Wisconsin for well over 50 years.
When I see players talk about how fans in Milwaukee handle things, the culture, and the city, I think to myself, "Eh... everyone says stuff like that, especially when things are going well." Giannis, for the most part, says the same thing.
Don Sutton said, "I honestly think every player should have the opportunity of playing at least one year in Milwaukee. The people there were great to me. It's a real baseball town."
I, personally, don't know how true that is. Sure, we all get sick when the Brewers get so close and lose. I'll even put the Badgers in that light, too.
If it is true, I don't ever want it to change. I want players to come to Milwaukee (and Wisconsin) because it is not only a great organization, but the people of this city understand it is not life or death.
