Milwaukee Brewers are currently playing two games up in Montreal against Toronto in exhibition affairs. Ryan Braun is not joining him. While we thought Braun would be playing with them, he forgot his passport. The Brewers veteran will set up shop in Milwaukee a couple days earlier. He did not have his passport with him, therefore, Montreal would not let him into the country of Canada. It has been awhile since we’ve seen this happened for an athlete, but this is an amazing way to punt the final couple exhibition games of the baseball season.

The #Brewers will be without Ryan Braun for the two games in Montreal against the Blue Jays. Sounds like he thought he had his passport with him but turns out he didn't. So, couldn't come to Canada.

This is an all-time mailtime move. Make the decision to conveniently forget your passport to get a couple extra days off. What an awesome move by Braunie. We all know how much he doesn’t like Spring Training and plays very minimal throughout the Spring. No matter you’re a baseball player or a corporate stooge like the rest of us, you’re always looking for an angle to beat out a few extra days of pointless work.

Now before we joke any further, Braun lost a bunch of things in the California wildfire months prior to the season. It is very possible the passport was among the things lost in the fire. So before you paint me out to be an asshole, I’ll call that out because I get it since we can never have any actual fun on the Internet anymore.
