CHICAGO -- Mike Bryant was in the batting cage at his Las Vegas home, trying to teach an 11-year-old left-hander how to hit, when he got the phone call he'd been waiting for. Son Kris was going to the big leagues.
Kris Bryant had actually called his mother, Susie, first with the news, and she relayed it.
"She told me, and I was kind of speechless and stunned," Mike said. "For the first time ever, I didn't have any words."
Mike Bryant loves to talk baseball, and he especially loves to talk about his son, the Cubs' top prospect, who was promoted to the Major Leagues on Friday.
