It took the Chicago Cubs more than a century to win the World Series.
It took Kris Bryant just two seasons to stake his part in baseball history after reaching the major leagues.
The former University of San Diego Torero helped record the final out of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series as the Cubs held off the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in ten innings to win their first title in 108 years.
Moments after fielding the last out on a ground ball hit by Mike Martinez, Bryant reflected on the magnitude of the moment.
“I knew he was fast,” said Bryant. “I knew I had to get rid of it. It was wet out here, that’s one of the best games anyone will ever see.”
“I've never won an award as a team. I've always been able to do it individually but this trumps everything. I mean I'm out here crying. I’m so happy. I really can't put into words how this feels. "
