Bryant Aiming for Greatness, Could Actually Walk More Than He Strikes Out in 2018

Kris Bryant is a fictional creation who seems to have sprung forth from a weird science experiment conducted by a couple of kids wearing jocks on their heads and messing around with a boatload of advanced tech. He’s just too good to be true: Doesn’t drink, doesn’t cuss, model good looks, married to his high school sweetheart…and still getting better.

And what’s really wild about the whole thing is that the latter of those seems like the most implausible. After all, it’s not just Big Brother who’s watching these days. We’re living in an age in which the whole damn family is part of the omnipresent prying eye, ready and willing to expose the flaws and foibles of men and women who’d previously occupied their ivory towers with impunity.
