La Crosse Loggers co-owner Dan Kapanke has been a Milwaukee baseball fan — since listening to the Braves on WKTY radio as a kid working on his family's farm.

Now, with the Brewers on the brink of their first World Series championship, Kapanke looks back at the 1957 Braves title, the heartbreak of 1982 and what makes this year's Brewers team different.

Kapanke also shares stories from his time with Brewers manager Pat Murphy, including Murphy's unconventional approach to keeping players loose while holding them accountable.

Plus, why the Brewers' old-school style of baseball is working, how the team has come together and what a championship would mean to Wisconsin fans after more than four decades of waiting.
