Kris Bryant Living Large in Chicago: Coldwell Banker Real Estate Video Series Showcases Young Slugger's Home and City View

MADISON, N.J., May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Baseball fans were finally able to see Kris Bryant on a major league baseball field when he made his big league debut in April for the Chicago Cubs. Today, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and MLB.com are bringing fans a behind-the-scenes look at how baseball's hottest young star lives off the field in his Chicago home.

"This is definitely downtown living," Bryant tells Coldwell Banker^® from his view overlooking Chicago. "I'm liking it so far, and I'm glad I chose to stay down here. It's a pretty cool place to live."

The MTV Cribs-like tour of Bryant's home is part of the Coldwell Banker Home Field Advantage series offering an exclusive look into the homes of baseball's biggest stars, along with interviews on what home means to them. In addition to showcasing his home, Bryant shows off where he keeps some of his favorite major league mementos like his first home run ball and a base from his big league debut.

"Professional baseball players spend most of their time on the road, so home has a special meaning for them," said Sean Blankenship, chief marketing officer for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. "You can learn a lot about someone by visiting their home. The Home Field Advantage series shows a side of these players few people ever get to see."

This year's series already includes players like Yasiel Puig, Shane Victorino, Lorenzo Cain and Denard Span, with players like Jose Reyes, Jake Peavy, and soon to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame John Smoltz in the coming weeks. A new video will be released on the Coldwell Banker^® Blue Matter blog every Monday morning through July:
