But we do know this: We LOVE Bryce Harper. There's just something about the guy and, trust us, it's way more than his incredible athletic talent. He's refreshingly real, down to earth -- by all accounts, an astonishingly fine fella. Oh, yeah -- we know he's shown a ferocious temper from time to time, but he seems to have matured into a true leader on and off the field -- someone worthy of that MVP prize that's been his more than once. And what's wrong with being passionate in pursuit of a win, anyway?
Plus, to have Philadelphia fans take you to their heart and accept you as one of their own, well -- that's no small feat and Harper has managed to accomplish that, and then some. In these parts, the guy is actually beloved. And obviously, we wish him and the team all the best as they appear to be headed toward exciting post season match ups and more accolades.
From a prodigy and a boy with dreams of becoming the number one outfielder of all time, Harper has now officially become the immortal soul of Philadelphia sports. In fact, he's bigger than the game itself. He's a true pop hero in the best sense of the word. And, far as we can tell, it couldn't happen to a finer guy!
