Rookie prankster: Cubs' Bryant goes undercover as Lyft driver

By David Kenyon

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is a household name for fans of Major League Baseball, but the star rookie recently had a successful day working as an undercover Lyft driver.

Bryant drove past Wrigley Field on multiple occasions, commenting how it’s a shame the team doesn’t yet have a poster of himself on display.

Check out the short video, which certainly will have you smiling and laughing by the end.

The funniest moment of the video, by far, is the ending:

It’s hard not to like Bryant.

The 23-year-old is a leading candidate for National League Rookie of the Year. He’s swatted 24 home runs, racked up 93 RBI and stolen 13 bases so far in 2015 (entering Friday's action).

Pretty soon, it’ll be nearly impossible for Bryant to maintain such a low profile, especially if he tries to repeat this stunt again. One thing is for sure, though: Bryant would still be hilarious.
