Cubs prank Kris Bryant after first career home run (Video)
After all the hype and anticipation, Kris Bryant finally hit the first home run of his Chicago Cubs career Saturday night.
In classic fashion, his teammates responded the only way appropriate to celebrate the top prospects first home run.
As he was rounding the bases, the Cubs left the dugout and hid as Bryant returned to an empty dugout with no one to celebrate his big home run with.
The fact it took Bryant to hit his first home run longer than expected made the team’s reaction even more hilarious.
Usually teams might give a guy the silent treatment when he hits a home run after a drought, but the Cubs took it to new levels by leaving the dugout as if there was nothing to see anymore.
Even funnier, Bryant ran right down the dugout steps and chased down his teammates to make sure he got his celebration.
Everyone came back out with wide smiles on their face after pulling off the plan to perfection. Bryant of course was one of the most talked about prospects in the Cubs organization, after the team used a high pick on him. He tore up spring training this year and everyone couldn’t wait to see him get called up to the big leagues.
Unfortunately he didn’t hit a home run until now, but the first one is always the hardest one to get, and his teammates celebrated appropriately.
Welcome to the big leagues Kris.
