Cubs' Kris Bryant Meets His Biggest Fan at Wrigley Field in Touching Moment

Faith, who is a big baseball fan, is 12 years old and was born with Spina Bifida

Kris Bryant met one of his biggest fans this week – and it was all thanks to a Houston Astros player.

Alex Bregman first posted about Faith Kuhn, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in January, saying he wanted to show her favorite player, Kris Bryant, her batting skills.

“Faith wanted me to show you her baseball swing and wants you to know that you are her favorite player,” he wrote in an Instagram post tagging Bryant.

Faith, who is a big baseball fan, is 12 years old and was born with Spina Bifida. She has undergone 15 surgeries. 

Fast forward to Monday and Faith and her family were at Wrigley Field getting the experience of a lifetime.

“Kris was moved by the video, so he invited Faith and her family to [Monday’s] game for their first visit to Wrigley Field and Chicago,” the team said in a statement.

Video released by the team shows Bryant giving Faith a tour of the clubhouse, pitching to her as she bats and gifting her with a personalized Cubs jersey. She also got a FaceTime call from Alex Bregman while she watched batting practice from the field.
