Many athletes call sports a battle. Every day is a day spent going up against the other team, and generally, there is only one winner. But Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich had a completely different take on the subject when speaking on a podcast about the same. With the star hitter having a brother enrolled with the Marine Corps, Yelich talked about how the two jobs couldn’t be more different. And while fairly obvious, the take was a breath of fresh air from a key member of the MLB’s top performers.

The Brewers are currently enjoying a healthy season at the top of the NL Central. With them hot on the heels of the 30-win mark, the Brewers will feel poised as the season gets into gear. And with star hitter, Christian Yelich registering only five home runs and 21 RBI so far, fans will ask for more from the 2018 NL MVP. Though his playing record is considerable, Yelich has made waves with his newest appearance on a podcast.

Christian Yelich speaks out about the troops

Christian Yelich spoke about his brother who serves in the Marine Corps and the experience he has seen from there. Said Yelich, “They’re out there in the field for 2 weeks. You dig a hole and you live in it for two weeks. That’s your house.”

Comparing that with his own experiences, it seemed like an unfair mismatch. A point Yelich enthusiastically pointed out. Said Yelich, “And I’m in the big leagues. You go 0-5 with a couple of strikeouts and check into your room at the Ritz-Carlton.”

Putting forward a fairly stark comparative, Yelich was forthwith with his comparisons. Said Yelich, “Your brother is eating stuff out of a packet. And you’re gonna be like ‘Poor me! I had a bad day today!”

“No, Cuz him and everybody with him will take your bad day, every day,” he said. Answering his own question. We are truly blessed that we get to live the life that we do. Untouched by conflict in the nature of war, perhaps it would do us well to stop comparing the two as well.
