Ryan Braun personally calling Brewers season ticket holders to apologize

Ryan Braun has been calling Milwaukee Brewers season ticket holders this week to apologize for using performance-enhancing drugs, and for his resulting suspension.

Pat Guenther, one of the ticket holders, said he thought it was a joke at first.

"Hey Pat this is Ryan Braun," Guenther recalled him saying. "Right then and there I knew it was his voice based on interviews I've seen on TV. I knew damn well it was his voice."

"I said what can I do for you? He said, I messed up, in a nutshell, I messed up. I just want to reach out and say I'm sorry.

"I cut him off right there. I said you know Ryan, I think you're an amazing athlete and this speaks volumes to your character to reach out to a small business owner like myself and let us know that you are going to do better."

Braun was suspended 65 games by Major League Baseball earlier this year for using performance-enhancing drugs. A few weeks ago, he issued a written public apology. He has not yet held a press conference to answer questions.
