EXPRESS Men’s Brand Ambassador Kris Bryant Named Major League Baseball National League Most Valuable Player 2016

During the 2016 season, Bryant continued to rise as one of the most sought after players in the game, delivering a game-winning, team-rallying home run in World Series Game Five. Bryant and team then went on to lead the Chicago Cubs to win their first World Series title since 1908. “I’m really grateful for my opportunities and what I have here,” said Bryant. “When you’re in the moment, you just want to put out the best version of yourself you can be.” (1)
