You Better Axe Somebody: Kris Bryant Hitting Like Paul Bunyan with New Lumber

“Yeah, I’m thinkin’ I’m back.”

That’s the most famous line spoken by Keanu Reeves as John Wick, star of the eponymous shoot-em-up movie franchise. So it’s quite fitting that John Wick 3: Parabellum was released on the same evening Kris Bryant launched three parabolas into the seats at Nationals Park.

Yeah, I’m thinkin’ he’s back.

Not only did Bryant hit a trio of dingers, he did so in consecutive innings Friday night to become only the second Cub to accomplish that feat. The other, as you may already know from the broadcast, was Sammy Sosa.
