How appropriate it was for Bryant to Rizzo to be the out that finally wins the World Series for the Cubs. He WAS a part of Cubs history! Thank you, Kris 😢
I'll never forget the smile on Kris Bryant's face as he threw to first for the last out of the WS and I think many cubs fans feel the same way. Part of the franchise forever. It's really nice to see that his time with the Cubs was meaningful to him.
I would 'like' your comment, but you already have 17 thumbs-up, so I would only spoil things.👍 KB's first season in Arizona was a lost year, but he's off to a good start in 2023. A genuinely good guy.
@@johnm840 what you say is true, pretty sure I remember him saying he grew up a Giants fan so I could see it. I will be a fan of his no matter where he plays regardless. But I also remember people saying what you said about Madison Bumgarner. Look what happened there.
@@Pliskin2894 In Giants broadcast area, so I get all the games , and talking heads on Tv and Radio talk about them all the time. A's don't get such a saturated coverage. Madison getting dealt sucked , but player movements is part of it. I try to watch his games in AZ still when I can. I like to watch the best players when I can. so KB here is a huge bonus. Not only is he a great player but a good person too... Not like some of these players like Lebron, all of his anti-American talk too much for me. I digress. Javy, now he's a fun player to watch, wish he got traded with KB to SF.
@@claydouglas2526 most people are. No big deal. I’ve been a bulls fan since the 90s, and it’s been tough the past few years watching the games until this year. Most fans don’t enjoy watching their teams lose. I feel sorry for lions and jets fans. Lol
As a life long White Sox fan, I was very sad to see Kris leave the Cubs but I have a feeling he will return one day as a Cub. Thank you for everything you did for the game and for Chicago.
I’m a life long White Sox fan as well but when I heard that Rizzo, Baez, and Bryant I was really sad because they bring a World Series to Chicago but now who knows what will happen with both teams now.
@@Hunter-qv5pc Cubs fan and I felt the same joy when Konerko and those boys brought a WS to Chitown in 06… well at least Konerko was able to finish out his career as a White Sox. Seeing the core pieces go hurts but I guess it had to be done. We weren’t winning with the old core anymore 🤷🏽♂️
I'm a Phillies fan with no connection to Bryant at all but this got me emotional. Can only imagine how much he meant to Cubs fans after ending the drought and making the final out. That was one of the best World Series I ever watched.
Kris Bryant said he would never close the door to make a return to Chicago I hope he comes back we really really miss him that’s one of the players that left a mark in the cubs team and fans
Im a life long Cubs fan and was so happy to have Kris apart of the team for all those years and the Championship. Awesome tribute and ovation. Real class by the Cubs. Always wishing former Cubs the best on their new teams. GO CUBS!!! Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
I like the Cubs because they had a few players I favored. Kris, Anthony, Javy, and Wilson Contreras who is still there. Really nice of them to honor him, but not trading him would have been better. He has been getting his hit on in a Giants uniform.
We had to trade him, he would have been a free agent and we don’t have the money to pay him. So we Either had to trade him or let him walk away at the end of the season with no return whatsoever.
@@Chillydall02 Thank you Josh. I did think it was the money that kept him from a renewed contract. Some players, even if they are worth the money, may not be signed because of budget constraints, but I was so used to these guys being a part of the Cubs team. I wish them all continued success. Have a wonderful day.
@@copp214 yeah definitely, even though I knew we were gonna most likely trade him, it just doesn’t feel right. I thought he was gonna be in a Cubs uniform for his whole career. You have a good day as well.
A real catch-22! Cubs honor Bryant at this one game..but dishonored him by not re-signing him with the team in which he began his career with...and won a World Series with. Applause 👏 to you K.B. for you are forever a Cub in the eyes of Chicago fans! 😎
It's a business and it's a sport. Decisions have to make sense for winning and for profit. Looking at what Bryant has done since, it was a good decision. The "biggest fan" is one that wants their team to be successful, not one that gets overly attached to certain players to the detriment of the team.
It's a shame that the Cubs showed no interest in him, starting in 2017. It feels so odd that they want to shell out the big bucks to rebuild now, but not when they had all their franchise players still. We'll miss you guys, thank you for some of the best years in Cubs history.
I know this was a year ago, but please come back Kris. I’m a diehard Cubs fan and the 2016 World Series was truly not winnable without you❤ I miss you Kris, I hope you come back
Always my favorite. They won that World Series on my birthday. I no longer celebrate my birthday, it is the anniversary of the day that the Cubs won the World Series❤️ #17 #alwaysaCubtome
My son and Kris were in the same conference in college. they are the same age. My son, lefty pitcher, got him out once, gave up a double to Kris and intentionally walked him 4 times. Kris was a beast in college.
Such a shame what injuries did to his career, but he will forever be an absolute legend in Cubs history, and one of the most handsome players in MLB history lol
I'm not even a Cubs fan, but Bryant is, without a doubt, a rare breed of player. I'd be very shocked if he doesn't make it into the Hall of Fame. Would've loved to seen him suit up Southside.
I was so depressed watching KB tear up during this tribute. I’m going to be equally depressed later this year when Baez and Rizzo each make their returns for the first time
An historic player in Cubs history. No question about it. Now playing for an historic Giants team. A team doing things that have never been done. KB has become a part of this Giants team. Will he ever return to the Cubs? Impossible to know. But personally, I hope he signs with the Giants. Because I truly believe that they need each other.
What a legendary team of the Cubs in 2016 with Kris Bryant Anthony Rizzo Ben Zobrist Addison Russell Jon Lester Wilson Contreras Javier Baez And much more great player that will lived forever in the memories of Cubs fans and that world series championship
I hope he gets his jersey retired. I know there were a lot of Cubs better all time but he brought happiness to the field of darkness after 108 years. Not the best, but the most important cub of all time in my opinion.
His peak was with the cubs. check his stats since leaving, he’s hardly played for the rockies due to injuries. Hasn’t been the same since that helmet hit years ago
@@thedude3065 Yup,for Reggie Jackson. Even though I'm a Yankee fan,I've always had a spot in my heart for the Cubbies. It doesn't feel right for Rizzo being anywhere else but Chicago. Aaron Judge also wears 99 because he couldn't get 44 or 9,which Reggie wore in Oakland
I'm thankful for the things he did for my Giants, but he did so much more for the Cubs organization. He should retire as a Cub when he finally hangs up the cleats.

i want to see KB in a Cubs uniform again!!!!
Dudes a legendary cub man . No matter where he goes . Thanks for the memories Kris
I hope one day he will be back in a Cubs uniform. Would love to see the guy retire a Cub.
We will keep him in SF. Why he was traded is crazy. If SF can win the World Series this year, he will key to the win.

He will always be a Cub. I hope he does come back, but if he doesn’t, I’ll always root for him. Thank you for everything KB!
Me too
2016 cubs from starting pitching rotation to the bench was one of the best teams in baseball history
That’s a stretch
Man I got emotional during this
Right, another era come and gone. I felt this exact way at the end of the late 90s early 2000s. When Sosa, Wood, Prior, and team split up.
@@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537 A new era is coming .... 2024-2029 ... take it to da bank! 8-)

Once a beloved cub always a cub
as a dodger fan, he was a really good player! I bet cubs fans miss him! #KB
Always will
I’m a giants fan but this makes me sad that the cubs lost such an icon of a player
I was crying my eyes out when this happened and I’m a giants fan
We really fucked up. They took for granted all their good players and offered them pennys on the dollar
I was at that game and I’m not even a cubs fan but I still cried after that video and it still gets me
I feel the cubs pain as a braves fan seeing Andrew Jones tom,Gregg and smoltz leave Atlanta it really hurt
I'm a Phillies fan with no connection to Bryant at all but this got me emotional. Can only imagine how much he meant to Cubs fans after ending the drought and making the final out. That was one of the best World Series I ever watched.
This makes me tear up everytime I watch it. 😢
Bryant, Rizzo, Baez & Schwarber that old team was my favorite one
What a year 2016 was, and it couldn't have happened without Kris. He will always be a Cub in my book.

I had a dream last night that he came back
Nothing but respect....from a Brewers fan.
"JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST a bit outside!"
Gotta love Bob Uecker.
I was there at that game, it was my first time ever visiting Chicago and was incredible to be in that stadium during that game.
I know this was a year ago, but please come back Kris. I’m a diehard Cubs fan and the 2016 World Series was truly not winnable without you❤ I miss you Kris, I hope you come back
I'm not a Cubs fan but I love this guy and what he brought to Chicago. He and Rizzo such a dynamic duo.
He signed a poster my daughter made when we went to watcht them play the Reds. It was the Kris Bryant game. It was the best game we've ever been to.
Always my favorite. They won that World Series on my birthday. I no longer celebrate my birthday, it is the anniversary of the day that the Cubs won the World Series❤️ #17 #alwaysaCubtome
🐐 helped the cubs win the ring
We love and miss Chris, javier, and Rizzo . BRING THEM BACK
2016 was one of the best years , being in that crowd of the cubs parade was insane , Go Cubs Go
He’s a cub for life no matter where he goes.
KB seems like such a genuine human being. Hate how his career has ended up the past few years. Hope he picks it up, even if its for another team.
Kris we miss you lots. Wish you nothing but the best! Cub for life
My son and Kris were in the same conference in college. they are the same age. My son, lefty pitcher, got him out once, gave up a double to Kris and intentionally walked him 4 times. Kris was a beast in college.
Man that one hurt the most when I found out the Cubs were trading.
Riz, Bryant, Schwarbs, Ross and Contreras were the best part of this ball club. Miss them all so much.
I hope to one day meet him and talk with him and get my rookie card of his autographed #ThankYouKB
Just imagine the honor of not only being on the Cubs team that finally won the World Series, but being the guy who made the winning play.
What a legend for the Chicago Cubs Baseball Club
Thank you man for helping give me my dad and my son a world series win that we got to share together
as a Cubs fan, i would love to see KB back in the gray, blue, and red (Chicago Cubs home uniform) in the next few years
a cub for life.
bro... im not even a cubs fan and i almost cried
Such a shame what injuries did to his career, but he will forever be an absolute legend in Cubs history, and one of the most handsome players in MLB history lol
FOREVER A CUB!!!
I miss u KB!
As a Giant fan, he is appreciated here. I stop what I'm doing to watch his at bats. An amazing player, still shocked we got him.
He's the NL version of Eloy Jimenez, often injured.
Beautiful. I love it.
Goosebumps every time
Kris Bryant it's been a year since you were traded I will support you wherever you go thank you for giving us are first world series in 108 years.
Isn't your name like a Beatles song or something and isn't that like picture of like the Beatles or something? And yeah you're right about Bryant

One of the best cubs ever
Still gives me goosebumps
Like since it happened or when you think about it?
@@turkwendell6904 thinking back thru the whole season.. I watch a highlight video every now & then.
@@rickpolhemus for sure
Can we have him back now please? 2023 Cubs are going to do something special, and he could be the guy to push it over the top!
You know it was tough for him to leave even though he needed the money he wanted to stay with the Cubs.
I was so depressed watching KB tear up during this tribute. I’m going to be equally depressed later this year when Baez and Rizzo each make their returns for the first time

And Ernie and Glenn and Don and Billy and José and Kenny and Fergie...
a tearful goodbye
I really miss you Kris!
Cardinals is my team and Cubs are our biggest rivals. THIS IS COOL

No lie when he starting crying I shed a little tear
It's great when the players actually give a shit
I still have his jersey matter a fact I wore it today:(
Chris and Rizzo I miss the most
If you didn't get emotional watching this, you aren't a true cubs fan
I'm not even a Cubs fan I'm a White Sox fan and I got emotional. Rizzo is one of my favorite players he just a nice guy that loves baseball.
Cubs are notorious for making great players FOR OTHER TEAMS.
His peak was with the cubs. check his stats since leaving, he’s hardly played for the rockies due to injuries. Hasn’t been the same since that helmet hit years ago
CUBs VS GAINTS is a big thing in my house but all like him 😀
Beautiful tribute.
Not a cubs fan. But that was awsome
I’m not crying….. you are..
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Even the PA announcer sounded choked up announcing him back
Don’t be sad that it’s over, Be happy that it happened.
Let’s be honest here he wasn’t the only one getting emotional.
I don’t think all cubs that got traded were able to but I wish that rizzo was still wearing 44, Baez wearing 9, Bryant wearing 17
Rizzo would've worn 44, but the Yankees retired it
Baez and Bryant both agreed to wear 23 in tribute to Chicago (Michael Jordan)
@@thedude3065 Yup,for Reggie Jackson. Even though I'm a Yankee fan,I've always had a spot in my heart for the Cubbies. It doesn't feel right for Rizzo being anywhere else but Chicago. Aaron Judge also wears 99 because he couldn't get 44 or 9,which Reggie wore in Oakland
@@thedude3065 Classy move by Bryant and Baez
@@thedude3065 well I know rizzo can’t wear it cuz Reggie but thx for the other 2 I didn’t know that

Chicago Cant Wait for Kris to Come Back Home.
I like kris Bryant my batting stance is his
I'm thankful for the things he did for my Giants, but he did so much more for the Cubs organization. He should retire as a Cub when he finally hangs up the cleats.

Ok maybe I cried❤
Damn...the Cubs without him and Rizzo 😭
