Chicago Cubs' 'Bryzzo' Duo Takes Top Spots In MLB's 20 Most Popular Jerseys List

CHICAGO (CBS) – The Chicago Cubs' "Bryzzo" duo has claimed the top two spots in the ranking of Major League Baseball's most popular jerseys.

The league released its rankings of the top 20 most popular jerseys Friday, and Kris Bryant was first with Anthony Rizzo second.

The 2017 list revealed two trends: It's the first time half of the players on the list are 25 or younger, andCubs players dominate the top of the list.

The Cubs took four of the top five spots, withBryant ranking first, Rizzo taking second, Javier Baez ranking fourth and Kyle Schwarber taking the fifth spot. Dodgers ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw ranked third in the list.

The list, jointly announced by MLB and the MLB Players Association, is based on sales of Majestic jerseys at MLBShop.com between the 2016 World Series and 2017 Opening Day.

This isn't a first for Bryant, as his No. 17 jersey has been the top seller since his rookie year in the 2015 season. Since then, he has won the National League's Most Valuable Player Award. Following behind is Rizzo, Bryant's "business partner" in the popular MLB "Bryzzo Souvenir Company" commercials, proving that is really has been a good year for sales.
