Ryan Braun to get awards Saturday

The Brewers announced Thursday that prior to the game Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Par, an on-field, pre-game ceremony will be held to present Ryan Braun with his 2012 Silver Slugger Award. 

Fans are encouraged to be inside Miller Park for the ceremony, which will begin at approximately 6 p.m. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin will present the award.

In addition, Braun will be presented the 2012 Josh Gibson Legacy Award by Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. The award is given annually to the home run leaders of both the National League and American League. Braun led the NL with 41 home runs last season.
