Kris Bryant led all rookies in home runs (26), RBIs (99), runs (87) and doubles (31), and he leads the Cubs into the postseason starting on Wednesday against Pittsburgh in the National League Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser on TBS at 8 p.m. ET.
Of course, you can just look at all of the No. 17 Cubs jerseys around Chicago these days to get a true assessment of Bryant's impact on Major League Baseball.
Taking over a spot that used to be ruled by legend Derek Jeter, the Cubs All-Star became the first rookie to top the list on Monday, when MLB and the MLB Players Association jointly announced their ranking of the most popular jerseys for 2015, based on Majestic Athletic jersey sales at MLB.
