A few days ago the Chicago Cubs were featured on Sunday Night Baseball, playing against the St. Louis Cardinals. Although it ended in heartbreaking fashion for Cubs fans, there were a few highlights and one Kris Bryant interview with Alex Rodriguez that was basically porn for die-hard baseball fans.
ESPN aired the segment and it was awesome. You have one of the all-time greats talking with one of the best players in the game today.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Bryant and the Cubs or not, this was great insight from a great hitter.
If you are a fan of the Cubs, a parent who has a child playing baseball or a coach, this was a must-watch segment.
One of the things Bryant talks about is what his favorite pitch is to hit. He brought up the inside fastball, making it a point of pride to handle that pitch because pitchers think they can get him out on it because he’s a tall dude.
Well, in Sunday’s game, Bryant did just that.

Here’s the extended version of the one-on-one talk between Bryant and Rodriguez.
If you only take one thing away from the interview it has to be this, right?
You want your kid to hit home runs? Incentivize it!
