Wow. Really nice story. I like that nearly every story I read about Harper is a positive one. I did not expect him to be such a nice guy when he came up.

I followed the stories of Harper from when he was a 16 year old until the time he was making his way to the majors and honestly, I didnt like him. I thought he was brash, cocky and someone who didn't respect the game. As time has gone by I think he has matured and is really starting to make a fan out of me. Lets hope he doesn't do something to screw it up but he is headed down the right road so far.

Lump in throat and a tear in the eye. Great story. Bryce is the kind of MLB player that actually gets it. Kudo's to him. And say a prayer for Gavin.....sounds like a sweet kid.

Harper is my favorite modern player and I'm stoked to get to see him play most home games as a season ticket holder. I find him to be a class act and this article speaks to that. I'm also picking up as many of his cards as I can. Not because I'm trying to profit in the long run, but because I'm a true fan.

Two of my favorite Harper cards. I know it's not pre-war, but at least they sort of look like pre-war.
