Fan tries to propose to Ryan Braun. It backfires. Big Time.

Armed with the giant $105 million contract extension he signed last week, Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun(notes) had to figure that he'd see an increase in the already-large number of marriage proposals he gets from female fans.

But who knew one woman would try to separate herself from the posterboard-toting pack at Miller Park by printing her cell phone number above her suggestion? And yet that actually happened on Friday night as the fräulein above made sure to place all 10 of her digits on her very earnest offer.

The rest of the half-inning was pure raw comedy, with Braun's would-be lady wondering why her phone was ringing off the hook with calls and texts and why field reporter Telly Hughes would possibly want to interview her.

'It seemed like a good idea," she said in the ensuing interview.

The great twist in the story is that Braun — who has a girlfriend — got wind of the sign after the game and actually tried to call Robin's phone. Alas, her voicemail box was full and Braun couldn't even leave a message with an answer to the proposal.

Gotta hand it to Ryan Bruan for at least trying to call her. Class Act he is.
