VIDEO: Brewers Star Christian Yelich Talks About Being Chosen to Be in ESPN's 'Body Issue'
By Sean Facey
Christian Yelich put himself on the sports map last year with his MVP campaign, and he's followed that up with another stellar season that once again has him vying for the honor. But his performance on the field has earned him the chance to be part of ESPN the Magazine's "Body Issue," and the Milwaukee Brewers star was more than happy to open up about it.
“So, what do you want to talk about today, Adam?” Christian Yelich said with a grin.

"I'm just at a position in my life where...it was just something that I wanted to do," said Yelich. "I'm not really worried about the whole being naked thing...I was super comfortable with it, had a great time."
As for what pictures will appear in the issue, his guess is as good as anyone's.

"I don't get to choose which ones they use...I'm sure I'll see them probably just before you guys do," he quipped.
He seems plenty excited about it, but only time will tell if it turns out as good as his on-field product.
