Above, a photo of Bryce Harper in a tuxedo with CNN's Wolf Blitzer at Saturday night's Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Gala (photo via @wolfblitzer). Wolf is, like, old enough to be Bryce's great, great, great, great grandfather or something.
Of course, this photo was taken just a few hours after Harper's worst game as a pro, in which he went 0-7 with 5 Ks and ended the 14 inning heartbreaking loss against the Yankees with a first-pitch-swinging ground out with the tying run on first. Yeah.
Here's Davey Johnson on Harper's awful day at the plate:
"This is probably his first really tough game where he was overanxious. That's showing some of his inexperience. He was really amped up against Pettitte. I've never seen him swing at balls out of the zone and he was chasing balls. You get in that mode where you try to make something happen and that's part of youth."

Ha! If you suspend your rigid cynicism and let go, it’s almost like Bryce Harper is in all these movies, music videos, game shows, television programs and whatnot and actually answering all the questions posed with “That’s a clown question, bro.” That’s some good stuff right there. A fitting tribute to one of the best [...]

The Washington Nationals are without a doubt one of the best stories of the year. And, of course, you can’t talk about the Nationals without inevitably turning to the direct youth infusion that is Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Probably the most amazing thing about these two guys is how well they seem to be handling the pressure at their relatively young ages.

A-Rod is a fan of Bryce Harper
The Yankees will get their first chance to see young phenom Bryce Harper this weekend when they face the Nationals and Alex Rodriguez is among those excited to see him.
“I love big talent. I am a baseball fan,’’ Rodriguez told George King of the NY Post. “To be 19 years old and doing what he is doing . . .”
Harper is just 19, but he has a .303/.384/.548 line through...

Bryce Harper’s hilarious “That’s a clown question, bro” response to a reporter in Toronto led to one of the catchiest phrases of the year. Although Harper has been the object of our scrutiny here at LBS, we can’t say we blame him for his response; he was being set up with a dumb question by a reporter who was insensitive to the youngster’s religious beliefs.

Rookie Rating: Harper vs.Trout

This season is great one to see two amazing rookies go through the season battling it out for the rookie of the year. To my understanding, both Bryce Harper and Mike Trout are amazing prospects who can produce tremendous power at the plate. Both are outfielders as well and they are not to shabby in the field. Trout who is a year older at 20, was drafted at the 25 spot to the Angels...

I’m planning a bigger post for this evening but until that time I thought I’d share a few thoughts from yesterday’s Yankees- Nats 14 inning affair, which I attended. In no particular order:
Ryan Zimerman is a defensive wizz. He saved that game for Washington at least 3 times and in 1 inning, the 11th I believe, turned 2 sure hits into web gems
