OnMilwaukee.com is proud to recognize Chase Frea as the first "Mini-Milwaukeean of the Month." In the photo Chase attends his very first Bucks' game, and although only 4 months old, according to his parents he is already a huge basketball fan.
"Chase is a huge basketball fan -- it's the only thing he'll sit quiet for and watch on TV -- and his Bucks' apparel makes up a fourth of his wardrobe," says Anne Frea, Chase's mom. "He's looking forward to March Madness and cheering for Duke to go all the way."
Born last Oct. 14 at Froedert Hospital, Chase is the first child for Anne Frea, a student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Travis Frea, a mechanical engineer at R&B Grinding Co. in Racine. The family lives in West Allis.
Although they are a relatively new clan, sports are already a huge part of the Frea family lifestyle.
"Travis played golf for his college team and I played basketball for my college team, so we've kind of thrown him into our world of sports through TV and in person," says Anne Frea.
