I’m from Milwaukee, born and raised (sans four years in Florida as a teen).
As a kid, my parents would take my sister and me to the Wisconsin State Fair as part of the annual pilgrimage for cream puffs and multiple packs of trading cards sold at the exhibition halls that fueled my passion for sports as a kid.
Heck, I remember standing in line to get legendary Green Bay Packers linebacker Ray Nitschke’s autograph (yes, it was on a poster for his Wisconsin Lottery game, if some of our older and more mature readers remember that).
