Davey Nelson lights up when he talks about stealing home eight times in his career, including second, third and home in the same inning. He still cringes when he talks about a collision with an outfielder that left Nelson with a fractured jaw and an injured ankle that cost the former Milwaukee Brewers coach a majority of the 1974 and 1975 seasons. He quickly recalls Hall of Famer George Brett as the best player he’s ever played with and Hal McRae as the best teammate he ever had, and recounts with angst being pinch-hit for during his only career All-Star Game in 1973. But for the FS Wisconsin analyst who spent 10 years as a big-league player, baseball just might rank second on Nelson’s list of things he’s most passionate about. Get him …

It's been a great run, but will a cleated shoe soon fall?
You can tell a Wisconsin sports fan by the change that's taken place over the last nine months. He smiles a lot. Refuses to change habits (or clothes). Hugs strangers. Reacts to fixing a leaky faucet by either a) giving himself a championship belt, or b) going into "Beast Mode." The last month has seen the bandwagon only pick up speed. The Brewers captured the division, the National League Division Series and Game 1 of the NL Championshp Series. The Packers won a Super Bowl in February, the sixth of an 11-game win streak that continued Sunday night. The Wisconsin Badgers football team is also unbeaten and a contender for the national title. And oh, yes, the Milwaukee Wave won their fifth league championship back in the spring and the …
