MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy sat down with Ryan Braun who, despite entering his fourth season in the majors, sounds like he’s firmly ensconced in his sophomore year:
Not as deep as “Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs/ Divorce him and split his bucks” but if you’re looking for a philosophy in life you can probably do worse than Jay-Z.
“I’m really in the moment right now . . . I’ve learned to live in the moment. The quote I’ve heard is, ‘Be where you are when you’re there’” . . .It’s one of a myriad of what Braun called “life theories” that he’s been batting around. One came from none other than Mr. Beyonce Knowles, the rapper Jay-Z.
“I’ve been quoting Jay-Z a lot lately,” Braun said. “He’s the ultimate self-made man, and he’s the ultimate self-promoter. He’s all positive. He said, ‘The truth needs no explanation.’ I think that’s deep.”
