Braun Addresses Media at Charity Event in Milwaukee

For the first time since his 65-game suspension, Ryan Braun has spoken into the microphone.

Earlier today, Braun was in Milwaukee to volunteer with the Brewers Charities Food Drive in conjunction with the Hunger Task Force.  The event was held at Helfaer Field, the youth diamond across from Miller Park in the same lot.

Needless to say, Braun was clobbered with a surplus of pointed, accusatory questions.  Regardless, the Brewers' slugger responded to the questions with professionalism and humility, reiterating his remorse for mistakes from his recent past.

Braun sidestepped several direct questions pertaining to his past mistakes.  Though he would not directly answer such questions, Ryan did express remorse for his actions.

Braun did state that he regrets holding his infamous press conference at Maryvale Baseball Park on February 24, 2012 during Spring Training.  At that press conference, Ryan declared his innocence while pointing a finger at several others.

Among those chastised was sample collector Dino Laurenzi Jr., who has since made amends with his accuser.  Ryan and his fiance, Larisa Fraser, attended a productive dinner at the Laurenzi home the night before the charity event.

Regardless of what types of questions, accusations, or criticisms are thrown Braun's way, he has made it clear that he is ready to move forward and concentrate on baseball, as well as his upcoming wedding.

Below is a link to video footage of Braun's interview from earlier today, courtesy of CBS 58 News in Milwaukee.
