Kobe Bryant: Boston Red Sox Player Named Daughter ‘Kobie’
Baseball player Kevin Pillar has always been a big fan of Kobe Bryant — so much so that the Boston Red Sox outfielder even named his daughter after the late NBA star.
“My wife wouldn’t admit to naming her after Kobe Bryant,” Pillar previously told the Toronto Sun, “But it was a name I grew up around and obviously I was a big Kobe Bryant fan, there’s no secret there.”“We wanted to name our daughter something with a K,” Pillar explained. “We wanted her to be KP; that was the nickname I had growing up. We bounced around a bunch of different K names, and Kobe came out one day on a road trip and the name Kobie Rae came out and it was in our final two.
Like Bryant before him, Pillar had hoped to one day write children’s books following his athletic career. He planned on approaching Bryant for advice when the time came.Earlier this month, the New York Times announced that three of Bryant’s books that he co-wrote with his production company, Granity Studios, took the top three spots on its middle grade hardcover best-seller list.
