MILWAUKEE — Brewers games have become a source of comfort for 9-year-old Kevin Higgins during a year marked by profound loss. His mother died of cancer in February, and his father died in July. Now Kevin attends games with his aunt, Cassandra Jordan, sharing a love of the team and the rhythm of each pitch. Jordan said Kevin stays focused throughout games, following every hit and pitch. At home and at the ballpark, the pair have built a collection of signed baseballs, hats, cards and souvenir bats around their shared interest. The connection to American Family Field also carries a family memory. Jordan said one of her last moments with her sister — Kevin’s mother — was walking into the stadium together. It was the last time her sister was able to walk, she said. Jordan said the games give Kevin a chance to set aside, if only briefly, the hardship he has faced and simply be a child. She said she is not sure he yet understands how much the experience may be helping him. Kevin especially watches Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, saying he likes the way the pitcher throws strikes. He hopes to meet Misiorowski someday, Jordan said. The family planned to attend the Brewers’ Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kevin said he hoped Milwaukee would win and urged fans to make plenty of noise. For him, each game is a chance to cheer for his team and share a familiar routine with his aunt.
