Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder were honored last week with the Silver Slugger Award. The award goes to the best offensive player in each position in both the national league and American. This is Braun's fourth consecutive Silver Slugger award and Fielder's, second. Prince first won the award in 2007.

This is Milwaukee's second straight year with two Silver Slugger winners. Last year Braun and Yovani Gallardo each received the title. Braun is one of just four outfielders who have won at least four Silver Sluggers in as many years. Sammy Sosa and Dale Murphy accomplished the same feat, and Barry Bonds managed to be honored twice.
