Brewers minor league third baseman Russell Branyan smacked his 200th career minor-league home run Monday night for Class AAA Nashville.
I am the happiest about this one

Are you guys ****ing stupid? The best defensive catcher ever who now has 2500 hits is not in the HOF? I guess 14 All Star appearances, a MVP award, 13 GGs and a career .302 BA isn't HOF worthy. The answer to my first question is yes, you guys are ****ing stupid. He is a no doubt HOFer.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

I'm 500% behind Reefer on this.
