He spent fourteen seasons with Milwaukee and played for no one else: 1,963 hits, 352 home runs, 408 doubles, 1,154 runs batted in and 216 stolen bases, batting .296. He was Rookie of the Year in 2007 after hitting 34 home runs in 113 games, and he led the National League with 203 hits in 2009.
In 2011 he hit 33 home runs, drove in 111 and stole 33 bases, and the writers made him Most Valuable Player. A positive test from that October was thrown out on appeal over the handling of his sample. In 2012 he led the league in home runs with 41 and in runs with 108.
In July 2013 he accepted a 65-game suspension in the Biogenesis case, and he played 61 games that year. He stayed seven more seasons in Milwaukee, the best of them 2016 with 30 home runs, and last appeared in 2020. He won five Silver Sluggers and was chosen for five All-Star teams.
