Let’s Celebrate Kris Bryant’s Birthday by Watching Him Hit Dingers!

Today is the 27th birthday of Kristopher Lee Bryant. We’ve only been blessed with KB’s presence for a few years now, but he’s certainly provided his fair share of memorable moments. From 2015-18, only three players in all of Major League Baseball have accrued more WAR than Bryant: Jose Altuve, Mookie Betts, and Mike Trout. That’s it.

He’s a former Rookie of the Year, National League MVP, and a two-time All-Star. Today is your day, KB. Here’s to hoping that shoulder has healed up and you’re primed for another MVP-level campaign in 2019. The following are my top-10 favorite Kris Bryant home runs.
