A true baseball fan can't hate a truly gifted player like Harper.
I think there was a perception when Harper was in the minors that he was arrogant and felt "entitled." I don't see much of that now. He's just intense.
If he was playing for the arch-rival team, and ended up making a great play or hitting a home run against the White Sox and then did some sort of arrogant preening, I might lose a little respect for him, but in watching Nats highlights all season, I honestly haven't seen any of that. Its always been Harper reacting in the heat of the moment, like pumping his fist when called safe on a close play. You can't fault a guy for that.
Bryce Harper is the real deal. Nats fans should enjoy it for all its worth.
