I pay very little attention to baseball except for occasional home-team viewing but am familiar with the names and faces of some of the best players in the league.
I do, however, like to watch the All-STAR game and its festivities and of course Post-Season Play. I remember watching a commercial last fall that featured Bryce Harper in a laundromat and EVERY time it was on I couldn't help but notice how good-looking he was and how likable he seemed along with oozing charisma.
Last night, I watched the REAL Bryce Harper and now believe that he could certainly win many prestigious acting awards should he decide to change careers...
Boy, did he fool me...

No comment on the final round of this year's home run derby.

How many did Harper hit before the prior ball in flight hit the ground? I think he got the home town bounce.
For the record: I've always been critical of Michael Jordan and his version of traveling vs. the rule book.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm just a BAD judge of character... I've always been a huge fan of Aaron Rodgers; but after watching his insensitive, latest partner of choice; I have to have my doubts...Danica, to me, looked very uncomfortable and unforthcoming...i/m/o

Harper hit any pitch that was semi-decent out of the park in that Final. Most of his pitches early on were TERRIBLE.

Now, if we can only do something about that .214 batting average.

I doubt if Harper will reach it but he is drifting close to the Mendoza line.

The current rules stink. Players get penalized for hitting the magnificent moonshots everyone comes out for. Guys hitting line drives half the distance get more balls to hit.
Either go to a set number of balls per hitter or a timer between pitches. I would love to see Judge going for a second swing while his last pitch is still in the air.
Harper's dad violated the rules, but no official tried to stop him so Who can say it was intentional. It resulted in a Kodak moment. Father and son playing ball together.
