Ryan Braun, known for his ability to deliver in the clutch during his 14-year career with the Brewers, was part of five of the first seven postseason entrants in franchise history, including the 2008 team that ended the club’s 26-year postseason drought. Braun’s go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning of that season’s regular-season finale helped put the team back into the playoffs. Three years later, he hit another go-ahead home run in the eighth inning of a postseason clincher that won the Brewers' first division title since 1982.

He is at or near the top of the list for every major Brewers’ all time hitting marks, including having the most home runs in team history at 352. He ranks second among Brewers in RBIs (1,154), extra-base hits (809), total bases (3,525) and doubles (408). He ranks third in runs (1,080), hits (1,963), triples (49), stolen bases (216) and walks (586). He is fourth in games played (1,766).

Drafted fifth overall in 2005, he was named the National League’s rookie of the year in 2007 despite playing in only 113 games, slugging 34 home runs and batting .324.
