There are some things that are bigger than sports. Ryan Braun and Christian Yelich developed a friendship throughout the last couple of years that Yeli has been with the team. It seems to me their relationship is an older brother to littler brother situation at the highest level. Both are really good baseball players, and Braun recognizes that Yelich is the face of this franchise. for the last two games, Braun wore Yelich’s jersey underneath his own. Braun hit a two-run home run that proved to be the difference in the game on Thursday game.

It is not seen here, but Braun flashed the 2-2 sign in the dugout after hugging Orlando Arica. He is doing this for his boy and I absolutely love that. It shows the team chemistry the Brewers have in that clubhouse. They’re trying to rally for Yelich and put themselves in the playoffs. Brewers are red hot with seven straight wins and heading to St. Louis where if they win two of three, they suddenly could be in contention for the division title. I wonder if Braun will still wear the jersey this weekend. I get keeping the superstition going until they lose, but it’s going to be warm in St. Louis this weekend.
