The Cubs star had his young son, Kyler, on the field with him for Monday’s Home Run Derby at Coors Field. Bryant recalled watching the Home Run Derby as a kid and thinking it was so cool seeing players holding their kids during the event, calling it a dream.
“In the moment I’m not pushing too much thought into it,” Bryant said. “But I know that in five, 10 years from now, that’ll be super special for us and a cool moment.”
Fellow Las Vegas native Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers was Bryant’s pre-Derby pick to win the event, which didn’t pan out.
