Braun is the first Brewers player to win the MVP award in the National League and first since Robin Yount won in 1989, when Milwaukee was in the AL East. Rollie Fingers (1981) and Yount in 1982 are the other Brewers to take home MVP honors.

“Robin’s the greatest player in Milwaukee Brewers history,mbt, so anytime you’re mentioned alongside him it’s a tremendous achievement,MBT 靴,” Braun said.

Braun signed a $105 million, five-year contract extension in April, linking him to the Brewers through 2020. He received a $100,000 bonus for winning the MVP.

“This team has been so loyal to me. They believed in me. They drafted me. They helped to develop me, and there would be nothing more meaningful to me than to eventually win a world championship in Milwaukee,MBT シューズ,” he said. “It would mean a lot more to me than if I went to a large-market team, big-market-team and won two or three championships.”
