Cubs Honor Kris Bryant During Pregame & He Gets Emotional

[@annetteurbanik3001]

How appropriate it was for Bryant to Rizzo to be the out that finally wins the World Series for the Cubs. He WAS a part of Cubs history! Thank you, Kris 😢

[@resmarted]

I'll never forget the smile on Kris Bryant's face as he threw to first for the last out of the WS and I think many cubs fans feel the same way. Part of the franchise forever. It's really nice to see that his time with the Cubs was meaningful to him.

[@rickrose5377]

I would 'like' your comment, but you already have 17 thumbs-up, so I would only spoil things.👍 KB's first season in Arizona was a lost year, but he's off to a good start in 2023. A genuinely good guy.

We will keep him in SF. Why he was traded is crazy. If SF can win the World Series this year, he will key to the win.

[@Pliskin2894]

@@johnm840 what you say is true, pretty sure I remember him saying he grew up a Giants fan so I could see it. I will be a fan of his no matter where he plays regardless. But I also remember people saying what you said about Madison Bumgarner. Look what happened there.

[@johnm840]

@@Pliskin2894 In Giants broadcast area, so I get all the games , and talking heads on Tv and Radio talk about them all the time. A's don't get such a saturated coverage. Madison getting dealt sucked , but player movements is part of it. I try to watch his games in AZ still when I can. I like to watch the best players when I can. so KB here is a huge bonus. Not only is he a great player but a good person too... Not like some of these players like Lebron, all of his anti-American talk too much for me. I digress. Javy, now he's a fun player to watch, wish he got traded with KB to SF.

It's a business and it's a sport. Decisions have to make sense for winning and for profit. Looking at what Bryant has done since, it was a good decision. The "biggest fan" is one that wants their team to be successful, not one that gets overly attached to certain players to the detriment of the team.

[@markhaga8408]

It's a shame that the Cubs showed no interest in him, starting in 2017. It feels so odd that they want to shell out the big bucks to rebuild now, but not when they had all their franchise players still. We'll miss you guys, thank you for some of the best years in Cubs history.
