MILWAUKEE -- If you ask Ryan Braun his favorite memory of 10 years in Major League Baseball, he tells you about when the Brewers snapped a 26-year postseason drought in 2008, when they won their division for the first time in 29 years in 2011, and when that '11 team played to within two victories of the World Series.
But the single day most seared in Braun's mind was 10 years ago Thursday. On May 25, 2007, less than two years removed from being drafted fifth overall by the Brewers, he made his big league debut as a 23-year-old third baseman.
