The reminder could be seen on the cover of those Milwaukee Brewers 2009 media guides floating around Fox Cities Stadium, a triumphant Ryan Braun raising his right arm and howling in celebration of the playoff-clinching dinger he launched last season.Oh, and he's in the lineup tonight.
And there he was, the immensely popular Brewers slugger, one of Major League Baseball's brightest young stars, among the National League's leading all-star vote-getters, splashed across that color photo hanging near the office of Wisconsin Timber Rattlers skipper Jeff Isom.
Heck, it's all over the newest Rattler — a spitting image if there ever was one.
So, kid, what's life like always having BRAUN stitched onto your jersey nameplate? And is it a blessing or a curse to be the younger brother of such a famous big league celeb?
"I treat it as a blessing more than a curse," Steve Braun said as he grabbed a breather from a pregame workout prior to Wisconsin's 7-5 Midwest League setback to Beloit on Monday.
A place to follow the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Midwest League, Minor League baseball, Major League Baseball, and everything in between in that order.
