I think it's funny that opposing fans/announcers think Braun is some cocky jerk. He had that showboat homer his rookie year that Ned yelled at him about and then he's had maybe one strut per season since (Cards last year and Cubs last night), and neither were bad at all. In fact, the tongue thing was nothing last night - it was just him being excited and celebrating with his team. The couple slow steps out of the box may be iffy, but it's not like 70% of the league doesn't do that, anyway. In the meantime, Braun seems like a very down-to-earth, nice, intelligent guy, especially for someone who has seen his celebrity explode on and off the field.
