Baseball Player

The Resume

    (January 4, 1992- )
    Born in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nevada
    Birth name is Kristopher Lee Bryant
    Outfielder/Third Baseman for Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, and Colorado Rockies
    Played for The San Diego Toreros at the University of San Diego
    Made the final out in Game 7 of the World Series, securing the Cubs' first World Series win in over one hundred years (Nov. 3, 2016)

Why he might be annoying:

    He's a client of Scott Boras.
    He turned down the Toronto Blue Jays when they selected him during a round of the MLB Draft (2010).
    He's an anomaly among MLB players in that his gay 'stan' following is considerable.
    Case in point, he inspired a Change.com petition 'to wear tighter baseball pants' (it received nearly 200 signatures).
    He was upset that the Cubs sent him to the Triple-A leagues after initially drafting him.
    He said 'I'm disappointed... I really wanted my performance this Spring to matter, I just felt it didn't matter as much to them as it did to me.'
    His agent exacerbated the situation by taking his case to the press, saying: 'Cubs’ ownership has a choice. Are they going to present to their market that they are trying to win? Tom Ricketts said they were all about winning. When someone says it’s the system, no, it’s a choice – the choice of winning.'
    Team owner Theo Epstein declined to respond to Boras directly, but clearly wasn't amused, telling the press 'Ownership doesn’t have anything to do with it. We’re making an organizational decision. And I’ll be the one, as president of baseball operations, making the decision.'
    His ecstatic, wild-eyed reaction after throwing the final out sealing the Cubs' World Series win went viral.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He plays the guitar.
    He has drawn comparisons to Derek Jeter
    He was a childhood playmate of Joey Gallo and Bryce Harper.
    His father played Minor League baseball for the Boston Red Sox.
    He was named to the USA Today All-USA Baseball First-Team (2010)
    Playing in college, he was honored with both the Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award for Best Amateur player (2013).
    He was honored as top hitter, with the National League Hank Aaron Award (2016).
    He had a 4.85 GPA while at Las Vegas Bonanza High School, earning him Salutarian status in his graduating class (which he gave up to a student who wanted it more).
    He was ranked the #1 prospect in baseball by Baseball America before the start of the 2015 season.
    The Cubs selected him as their second pick in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft.
    He lists Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean as his favorite artists.
    His girlfriend - and later fiance - posted a cute video of them lip-syncing to 'Love is an Open Door,' onto YouTube.
    He signed the largest baseball trading card deal in Topps/Bowman BUNT Company history (2016).
