For my first post I wanted to show some hometown love. Sadly, I think the pickin’s are pretty slim, but I’ve decided to work with what I’ve got.
In honor of Ryan Braun’s stellar week – and because nothing’s hotter than breaking a slump, proving you’re not injured and leading your team on a winning road trip and a four-game win streak…
.927 slugging percentage
.565 batting average
13 hits
4 HR
8 runs
9 RBI
…it seemed an apt time to honor the forearms of doom:
And the close up…
Celebrating the go-ahead home run during the final game of the season leading to a post-season appearance? Very pretty.
“We’re going to the post-season” man-love? Always hot
I have to say that, in general, he doesn’t really do it for me – but who can argue with this?
Baseball players have fit abs? Who knew?
I’m with you Pam, who knew? I am so glad CuteSports told me…
Oh my…I love me some Ryan Braun ;) The second pic is my favorite. Gotta love those arms!
Last picture: Ho. Ly. Shit.
I think baseball players should act like soccer players much more often! Yum.
Helloooo Ryan! I had no idea he was so cut. I used to think he was too thin for my tastes.
Baseballers really give tennis players a run for their money in the forearm department.
He has, like, an 8-pack =)
Braun can coast on the merits of that final picture for at least a few seasons as far as I’m concerned. It forgives any manner of sins!
Ryan Braun can untuck his shirt for me any day.
OMG, my eyes have seen the glory!!! Now my hands want to touch the glory.
When that photo first appeared, I seriously thought it was someone’s photoshop job. It looks like a photo that would appear in The Onion.
I hate to say, though, that the last three photos were not from the regular season finale, but from the 9/25/08 game vs. the Pirates (the grand slam, as seen on that iPhone MLB app commercial).
