Ryan Braun’s apology tour continues — now he’s building homes with Habitat for Humanity by Mike Oz | Big League Stew -- 19 hours ago The video above is from May, before Ryan Braun's baseball world fully collapsed. He was out in a star-of-the-city capacity, helping the Milwaukee Brewers build homes with Habitat for Humanity in May of this year. We all know what happened not too long after that — Braun accepted his suspension from Major League Baseball related to the Biogenesis scandal, and has since been trying to get back in the good graces of fans and, apparently, humanity as a whole. Now, the New York Daily News has a new photo of Braun spending part of his weekend helping build homes for veterans through Habitat for Humanity. And on the first weekend of the NFL season no less. He's joined by his mother, as they help on a project in Sylmar, Calif. It's easy to look at the Daily News' cheeky Braun pic and see a guy who's trying desperately to rehab his image. It goes hand-in-hand with those phone calls he made to Brewers season ticket holders. But to be fair to Braun, he's been helpful to Habitat for Humanity in the past — and not just earlier this year. In 2008, Braun gave his $10,000 Rookie of the Year bonus to Habitat for Humanity. Specifically, after helping with a project in the L.A. area. No matter whether you think Braun is an opportunist or he's a guy trying to do some good, you have to give him credit for at least doing something productive for society at large during his commissioner-mandated time away from MLB. Baseball season's in full swing. Don't miss a thing. Follow @MikeOz and @bigleaguestew, on Twitter, along with the BLS Facebook page. __
Yep that's still what I think... And Nope I don't have to give him any credit at all. If he wants credit from me then lets see him skip the 2014 season and work for Habitat for Humanity EVERY day for that year... THEN I'll give him some credit. Until then he's just a lying media whore on a PR tour using his mother and the only organization he could find to make himself look like less of a villain... and I remain completely unimpressed.
totally agree the only time these guys feel any remorse is when they get caught and even then it's not because of what they did, it's because they didn't get away with it want credit???... then give your MVP trophy back and announce that you didn't earn it and therefore don't deserve it that would go a long ways to restoring your image and credibility until then, you're just another selfish, dishonest cheater
Can we trade League and Crawford for Braun? Two bad contracts for a bad human being with what might turn out to be a bad contract? BTW, with this post I now make this thread Dodger relevant.
fuck braun is the o's chris davis juicing? 50 home runs from 2008-2011 50 this year (83 the last two) and counting _ (Photo courtesy: sportsgrid.com) __
