Chicago Cubs

Bryant, Rizzo Own Two of MLB's Best Selling Jerseys

The Chicago Cubs have more wins than any other team in baseball over the last three seasons, and as a result they sell more jerseys than just about any team in the game.

According to data released by Major League Baseball on Tuesday, the Cubs had three of the top-ten selling jerseys in baseball last season.

Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant finished in second place on the list, ranking just behind New York Yankees rookie slugger Aaron Judge, who owned the top-selling jersey of the year.

Bryant narrowly beat out his teammate and Bryzzo “collaborator” Anthony Rizzo, who checked in at number three on the list. An MVP candidate, Rizzo has become the de facto face of the Cubs during their ascension to the upper echelon of big league clubs, and fans are still flocking to buy his jersey as a result.

Chicago Cubs' 2017 Push for the Playoffs

Cubs infielder Javier Baez also cracked the top ten, finishing in the tenth position in sales. Baez has become known throughout the game for his flashy plays and happy demeanor, and he rode that popularity to a spot among the top players in the game.

Los Angeles Dodgers hurler Clayton Kershaw finished in fourth place, and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, whom the Cubs will face in the first round of the postseason, finished in fifth.

The Cubs did land one more player in the top 20 according to MLB’s data, as outfielder Kyle Schwarber checked in at number 14. After making a miraculous comeback from a torn ACL last season, Schwarber had a rough 2017 season, being sent down to the minors after struggling to find his form. He did finish the season with 30 home runs however, so it wasn’t all bad for the slugger.
