Ryan Braun not only plays a mean game of baseball [on all sides of the ball] but he is also a designer of his own brand of duds.

Thus given his appearance [in his uniform (bestest period), in the above photo (lookin' boss), in his briefs (a girlie thing for sure: Jim Palmer beware) and his everyday outfits (just guessin')] I’m predictin’ that Mr. Bruan [not related to the Braun Appliances family] will do really, really well in the fashion industry after baseball [if not during].

Nothing like owning an entire “clothing line” from design, to modeling, to sales to delivery, eh ?

I’m also guessin’ that many of his buyers only wish that they looked “anything” close to Ryan Braun. Oh well if ya can’t be the guy then wearing one of his “creations” probably works to an acceptable level.

Right now life is worth livin’ for one Ryan Braun, for soooooooo many others not so much.

But hey I want me some R.B. designer undies and his .307/22/38/129 line on my fantasy team. The 22 represents his stolen base total.

C’mon, admit it, I won’t tell; you’re Jack Bauer.

Good thing Haren’s got a fallback gig going. The way he’s pitched for the Angels so far, he may indeed need to quit his day job!

Either a spy, Brian Cashman, or The Mentalist, according tyo today’s reports. Really Old Gator’s agent imbedded in New Jersey, most dangerous assignment on earth.

Unless it’s the angle, that ball should have been called a strike. Great shot though and one to be proud off.

I say fly the wife and kids out, Craig. NBC won’t mind

It’s been a great journey by all account though. Thanks for sharing (and making us jealous)

I believe Tony Pena the converted infielder is with the Red Sox.

How was that a ball? Low? It was right at the knee!

Must be Jerry West behind the mound trying to move Spring Training games along.

So far this has been the most baseball-related fun I’ve ever had in Feb/March. That’s b/c this is my first Spring that I’ve been following HBT, so thank you for getting me ever more riled up for some mothaf@ckin baseball!

Good lighting on that ball two shot. Your sensor must have kicked it up to 1/1000sec. Sun just over your right shoulder, pretty far west in the time zone so I’d say 2-3PM, 80 degrees verified by shirts off on the grass. Focal point at home, didn’t quite get the aperature open enough.
Good work!

It sure looks like Haren to me. Also, I think that’s Braun in the shot on the right.

And is that Ryan Braun next to Haren, not wearing an Affliction tee?
