LOS ANGELES – There are a lot of Milwaukee Brewers fans in Los Angeles for the NLCS. Some flew there, some live in the area – and one decided to get in her home and drive there.
What they’re saying:

The van – which she named “Floyd” – was Klimek’s home for three years until she got married. But Floyd, like Klimek, is always up for a road trip.
“He’s more of a fun adventure vehicle, so when I got the call from my friend Alex to say ‘Hey, do you want to go to the Brewers games this weekend?’ I said, ‘Absolutely, I’ll be there – I’ll bring my house,” she said.

This week, home for Klimek has been in the Echo Park neighborhood near Dodger Stadium.
“I love hype – I’m absolutely here for the hype,” said Klimek.

Klimek admits she doesn’t know the Crew’s roster up and down, but driving Floyd from Las Vegas – where’s he parked – to Los Angeles is definitely a sign of commitment. She’s not so sure she would have made the trip if the Brewers were playing the Philadelphia Phillies.
“We went to a Phillies game, my husband and I, and I got the double bird – they were just mean,” she said.
It’s been the exact opposite response in Los Angeles.
“Every single fan, Dodgers fans have been incredible humans,” she said.
Still hoping for a miracle Friday before first pitch, Klimek said she’s open to putting more miles on Floyd if the Brewers could complete a comeback and advance to the World Series.
“Floyd will go anywhere – I’m dedicated, I’m here. I mean come on, what a story that would be.”
