Cool Cub: Kris Bryant was suave as could be while making the final out of World Series Game 7
What we have here, folks, is the very definition of cool, calm and collected.
With 108 years of history compressed into a single moment and the World Series coming down to a one-run game in the bottom of the 10th inning, Kris Bryant smiled. He smiled. He freaking smiled!
That's Bryant in the Vine above (RIP Vine, man) smiling before and during making the final out of Game 7 to secure the Chicago Cubs' first World Series win since 1908.

On the one hand, sure, we hear your snide rebuttal. Yes, Bryant is an MLB star paid heaps of money to field routine grounders like this.
But on the other hand -- considering the stakes -- there was nothing at all routine about this particular routine grounder.
That's one hell of a clip, and sure to put a smile on any Cubs fan's face.
