Ryan at a game. **I love taking his picture, about as much as he loves to smile for me. Yeah that is Good!**

Currently Single. Although it is reported in Choptalk that he has a girlfriend named Amy. **Noone really knows what is up with his personal life**

What would other players say behind his back: "They would probably say I'm pretty intense and I go out and play hard"
Favorite Ballpark: Coors Field
Most embassing moment: "I was hitting 6th or 7th in the lineup one game and I went into the on-deck circle while the clean-up hitter was batting. They had to call me back into the dugout. It was funny at the time, but it was embassing too."

Personal Note of Ryno: I would like to say that Klesko is a very nice guy and one hell of a player in my opinion. Go Klesko and I will remain a fan forever!!!!!
