Were it any other player, I’d consider him snakebit. But seeing Kris Bryant avoid one serious injury after another furthers my belief that he’s not of this world. Mike and Sue Bryant likely found his spacecraft in the Vegas desert and raised him as their own, just like Superman. And now he has to feign injury once in a while just to keep up the ruse.
Bryant’s been working overtime to betray his true identity this season, whether it’s the rolled ankle or the sprained finger. But those came on plays he was trying to make, whereas last night’s scare was made that much worse by the situation.
