Braun joins elite class

The Brewers picked up a much needed, confidence boosting win in a milestone game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the first inning two BrewCrew members each joined elite groups of MLB players. Felipe Lopez led off the game with a double, which was his 1,000th career hit (Lopez had no clue he had hit number 1,000, and and didn't keep the ball from this hit. However, he kept the ball from his 1,001st hit, saying it was a good story to relate later). Even more exciting was Ryan Braun's homerun later in the inning. This homer gave Braun 100 in his career. Braun hit number 100 in his 400th game, making him the second fastest player in MLB history to achieve this feat. Ryan Howard of the Phillies did it in 325 games. Braun currently sits at number six on a list of home run hitters who were able to pound out 100 homers in their first three years. The players ahead of him are Albert Pujols, Ralph Kiner, Eddie Mathews, Joe DiMaggio and Mark Teixeira. Looking at some of the players on the list ahead of Braun, one can only imagine the successes Braun may have in the future.
