Cubs fans quickly posted their excitement regarding Kris Bryant, the Cubs’ third baseman and interviewee, and their shared hobbies. While it isn’t clear whether the locker with the cards was Bryant’s or another teammate’s, the presence of Pokemon cards in reigning World Series champions’ locker room has to be applauded.
