Baseball Quote by Kris Bryant
“I was facing players I grew up watching on TV. At times, you can overwhelm yourself with stuff like that. I still find myself doing it now with some of the big-name guys - Zack Greinke, Max Scherzer and those guys that are really good. You have to pinch yourself and remember you belong here, that you're here for a reason and that they're human beings too.”
