Hank, thanks for this piece of interesting info. As you know, I've rooted for Washington's teams ever since Dad took me to old Griffith Stadium back in the 1950's. But, I could never bring myself to root for Harper, except when the Nationals desperately needed a hit from him to win a game. And, I shed no tears when he left DC the year before we won the WS.
Brian L., thanks for informing that Harper has matured, now that he is older and become a family man. Does he now put in a bit of effort to run out the easy ground balls he hits to infielders?
