Baseball Babe #104 Corey Hart Milwaukee Brewers 2 Homeruns Against 2011 World Series Champs Cardinals

The season is early and RF Corey Hart was ready for the best of them on Saturday night when the reigning World Series Champs St. Louis Cardinals were in town. The champs weren't ready for him or the Milwaukee Brewers as they handed them a 6-0 loss. The key to the Brewer win was Corey Hart's bat going deep for a solo shot in the 2nd and following it up with a two run bomb in the 6th driving in 3B Aramis Ramirez.
The loss of Prince Fielder was not apparent in this game with the 6'6" Brewers slugger swinging away.

Baseball Babe #59 Honors Adam Kennedy Seattle Mariners GW Single

The night of late inning heroics! The surging Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees went into extra innings and Adam Kennedy came through in the bottom of the 12 inning off a nasty slider from the master Mariano Rivera with a bloop single to win the game 5-4.

We do have runner-ups today!

The night also produced a Milwaukee Brewers win over the defending World Series champions San Francisco Giants with a 9th inning bunt sacrifice by Jonathan Lucroy.

Chipper Jones wanted to show he was not getting showed up so in the 12th inning he singles in the go ahead run to help the Atlanta Braves take down the Cincinnati Reds.

All three players deserve the "Baseball Babe Award", but I am going with utility journeyman Adam Kennedy for him slapping the slider of the great one Mariano Rivera.

Runner-ups: Chipper Jones and Jonathan Lucroy!

Baseball Babe #56 Honors Zack Greinke Milwaukee Brewers 1 HR 10 K's

It's rare when a pitcher loves to hit, but Zack Greinke loves to hit! As a Kansas City Royals pitcher he never got the chance to show his skills being in the American League, but now being with the Milwaukee Brewers and the National League he gets his chance to hack. On Wednesday night he showed why he loves to hit ...hw wanted to the the chicks the long ball! He hit his first home run of the season! The bat was not all that was working Wednesday the ball whiffed 10 batters and had a strike out in every inning he pitched to win over the Washington Nationals!

Ryan Braun Signs Extension with Milwaukee Brewers thru 2020

Ryan Braun

"High Fives" all around for Ryan Braun the mainstay in the Milwaukee Brewers lineup thru the rest of the decade. His extension of 5 years and $105 million should put a smile on a face! The 5 years were added to the 8 year $45 million he signed for in 2008! The contract adds up to the longest contract ever given to a Milwaukee player. Ryan and Troy Tulowitzki are the only two players signed thru the 2010 season. 
A 2007 rookie of the year, three time starting all-star and silver slugger with a third place vote in the 2008 National League MVP race. In 2009 he led the NL in hits with 203. The Brewers are believing in Braun and feel like the franchise has to lock up their franchise player!

The stats he has amassed in such a short time is remarkable. Through 18 games this year and since his rookie season started he has played in 597 games averaged .308 in batting, has crossed the plate 414 times, slugged 133 home runs while generating 432 RBI's. With the slugging he also added some speed with 64 stolen bases.

Hitting is not his only talent. Fielding he also excels. In 2008 Ryan's fielding percentage was number one in the NL with a percentage of  1.00 in 2009 he was 2nd with .994. This season so far he is back at it again with a 1.00 and tied for the lead in the NL again.

Looking at this season Ryan has lived up to expectations that earned him the extension. In the 18 games he already has 23 hits with 5 of them home runs with a .359 batting average and with the glove he is error free.

Milwaukee has a player to build that team around that has got the intangibles to be a superstar and they will pay for it, but keeping the team together is key!
