Davey's dancing boy provides only relief at Miller Park on Sunday

Published July 30, 2012 at 8:51 a.m.

If you were at Sunday's game at Miller Park in which the Brewers scored 10 runs and STILL managed to lose to the Nationals, 11-10, in 11 innings, the highlight for you just might have been the kid dancing on the Jumbotron in the late innings.

It was for me, and for thousands of other fans.

Turns out that kid is Wilson von Bohlen, son of Maritime and The Promise Ring front man Davey von Bohlen.

When tweets of photos and videos of Wilson began flooding Twitter, Davey (@daveyvonbohlen) quickly – and rightfully – claimed credit as the proud papa of the boy who was just about the only ray of sunshine in a grim Brewers loss.

Von Bohlen tweeted that the Brewers graciously presented Wilson with an autographed baseball for his fancy footwork.

Here's video of the dance as tweeted by @ScottMilfred:

Roenicke's future?

When a team is as bad as the Milwaukee Brewers have been, you kind of just hold your breath, waiting for somebody with authority to lose patience with the whole thing and start chopping. And, as we all know, the normal first head on the chopping block belongs to the manager.

Lineup not easy to make

Penciling in eight batters into a lineup isn`t as easy as it seems - a lot more goes into it than just raw numbers. A real manager has to deal with real people in major league lineups and with that comes certain intangibles like health, comfort and confidence.

Sports store a must visit

Mick Pavlovich has been in the sports retail business for 25 years, and the former Milwaukee Braves bat boy knows what fans want - especially those looking for that real "old school" feel.

Sports gear for all

Supporting your team is part of being a fan, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by wearing team apparel, official or otherwise. Milwaukee offers several options for fans, from visiting the Brewers store in Miller Park to patronizing the local retailers who give you unique ways to show your love.
