I’ve gotten to know Bryant’s high school coaches pretty well over the last year through our interactions about their former player’s incredible talent. Well enough, my friend OT and I stayed at the house of Derek Stafford (Bryant’s old high school head coach) for the entire weekend excursion.

We also spent a ton of time with Kevin Fiddler and Matt Estrada who were both assistant coaches at Bonanza during Bryant’s time there from 2006-2010 and it was incredible to hear how proud they were of Kris’ accomplishments.

That was exemplified when we met up with them at Cashman Field on Saturday to watch the first of two games against the Cincinnati Reds. It was an absolutely perfect day for baseball and I couldn’t have had a better seat to watch the game begin.

Even though the press box was a pretty damn nice setting, I wanted to go sit with the guys that I spent the previous night at the casino with where we may or may not have drank every beer in sight.

I made my way down the first level of the field to meet up just in time to see the hometown kid treat the crowd to a huge two-run home run in the fifth inning.
