There's really not a lot that Kris Bryant is doing wrong right now.
He just celebrated a birthday, married his high school sweetheart, collected his MVP trophy, appeared on late night television, and was worshiped at the recent Cubs convention.
He also fielded the final out of the World Series to break the longest championship drought in sports history but I'm sure you're already aware of that.
Hell, his last four years have been better than most professional baseball player's entire careers: College Baseball Player of the Year, Minor League Player of the Year, NL Rookie of the Year and of course, the NL MVP.
Never one to settle, Bryant has already begun preparations for the 2017 season but before Spring Training begins, he's collected yet another award.
Fans recently voted him as the 2017 No. 1 Topps Baseball Series 1 card. For you non-baseball card lovers, this just means that Bryant's card will be number 1 of 350.
Bryant recently said he was "humbled" by the award and spoke about his love for baseball cards growing up. I have to admit that it'd be pretty cool to open up a pack of baseball cards and see yourself but the question arises: would you be able to trade your own card with your friends? Like, if KB gets his own card in a pack and calls his buddy up like, "hey, come over and bring your cards. I just got myself but I'm looking to trade me for let's say....Mike Trout?"
I'm 100% positive Bryant doesn't trade baseball cards but it's a pretty cool hypothetical right?
Bryant also mentioned baseball cards during the Cubs Convention in January but in a much different context.

Bryant joked (I think?) at the fact that most of his baseball cards somehow find a way to capture him making what he called a "weird face." I'm assuming he was referring to cards like this,
I also think KB may have been stretching the truth just a tad because those are the only cards that feature him making strange faces and let's face it, even with these faces he's still better looking than 98% of the human population.
Fans of Topps baseball cards have justified Bryant's popularity even though Cubs fans have known he's been a number one guy since his arrival to the team in 2015.
