Week 20: Kris Bryant

The Chicago Cubs are having an amazing season, so it's a bit surprising that, until today, no Cubbie has been my MLBoyfriend. This is almost as bad as the Cubs' famous World Series drought. Just as he might well help the his team break the Curse of the Billy Goat, Kris Bryant is finally bringing the title of my MLBoyfriend back to Wrigley Field today.

Kris Bryant is certainly the leading contender to be the National League MVP this year and has some impressive stats for the season. Even in the midst of a great year, last week stood out. From August 15th to 21st, he had an incredible .483 batting average with a 1.359 OPS and three home runs. He batted in eleven runs and scored nine himself. Those stats are largely due to the incredible game Bryant had on August 18th: he went five for five at the plate with two home runs, four runs and five RBIs.

In addition to being a great baseball player, Kris Bryant is ever so dreamy.

Kris Bryant is so ridiculously handsome that he is literally (and yes, I'm using that word correctly here) the only person in the world who looks good wearing an adjustable baseball cap backwards.

Express seems to agree as they have made him a "brand ambassador" which I believe is the boy version of "spokesmodel".

Bryant also wins points in my book for his stint in my home state as an Iowa Cub.

Congratulations, Kris Bryant, you've long deserved the title of my MLBoyfriend, and now you've finally won it.

PS: See you in October.
