further proof that Braun is a good guy, i just wish the brewers or braun didn't have to release a press release after it was done.

Braun is a true class type guy. Not sure a lot of athletes would do such a thing.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think it was released to say how good of a guy Braun is. I think it's important for this information released because it brings more press to Habitat for Humanity and hopefully brings more awareness of their organization.

This so sooooo cool. One of my favorite charities. I've seen first hand how it can change people's lives, and one of my proudest moments of my life is when my own son volunteered on two projects. I know that Braun's family have to be equally proud. Well done sir!

Incase you havent noticed theres scandal going on everywhere in sports!

 

Between the Patriots spygate, Kelvin Sanctions at Indiana, and everyone including their wifes roiding up in baseball its refreshing to hear something like this http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

nice job ryan braun. i'm sure alot of well paid atheletes do charitable things like this--great to see. perhaps this is the offset to the greed in the game. newsflash today---------c.c. sabathia cuts off talks on 4 year $68 mil extension from indians.

The Brewers didn't release this. It was Habitat for Humanity that decided to make a news release about this. As JJHardy said above, this was to further Habitat for Humanity's presence in society in hopes of garnering more support for the org.

That's amazing, especially since Braun doesn't have a huge salary (390K) compared to the players making millions a year. I don't think its a bad idea releasing the news, besides giving attention to Habitat for Humanity but it gives attention to the true good guys in sports. I don't think that stuff is given as much attention as it should, especially when all we hear about is the Clemens ordeal and Pacman Jones getting in trouble at another strip club.

I posted this elsewhere, but....

 

Since H4H builds homes, and thus there is a lot of carpentry work involved...

 

Jesus=Jewish Carpenter=Messiah

Braun=Hebrew Hammer=?

 

I'm just saying...

[sgtcluels]

Nice move by Ryan. Ohh and he's got plenty of money, 2.45mill signing bonus.

[TheBwaz]

After delivering the check, Braun looked too long into the dugout so Yost has benched him for the season opener.

 

Kudos on him for doing it, and kudos again for not seeking the press on his own. Mazel tov.

My mancrush on Ryan Braun continues to grow...

[RobDeer 45]

Awesome!

[jordanmuehl]

It's great to hear something like this and get reminded that not all professional athletes are selfish jerks. Way to go, Ryan!

Not only has Braun donated money to Habitat for Humanity he has also donated his time and energy taking part in one of their projects. He truly believes in this cause. That's pretty cool. He's not doing this to look good. He's doing this to help a cause he truly cares about.

I think a lot of pro athletes do stuff like this but they don't get the publicity that morons like Pacman Jones or Mike Vick get. Sporting News devotes an entire issue every year to 'good guys'.

I love me some Ryan Braun! In a non-homosexual way, of course.
