I Support Bryce Harper Petition
« Topic Start: February 01, 2012, 10:55:46 AM »
I remember reading the SI Article written by Tom Verducci back in the summer that gave an inside look on Harper's path to the big leagues. What really struck a chord with me was the negativity and hostility toward Bryce was so rampant that even the beer garden section in Hagerstown consistently jeered at the kid. One guy who was a voice of reason in the article was Brian Daubach, who couldn't believe that people couldn't appreciate that someone that talented and excited playing for such a small town. But what really demonstrates Harper's character was the final quote in the article by Bryce:"I'm not going to complain about anything," he says. "I'm doing something I love to do. I'm not going to say, 'I hate the media, I hate this, I hate that.' Because I have a life I really love. I get to do something I really love doing. I wouldn't take anything back at all."

If that right there isn't enough to convince people Bryce is a genuine, compassionate guy who is really appreciative for the opportunity, I don't know what is. I support Bryce 100% in his endeavors in Washington and I truly think it was God's will that Bryce ended up in DC.

Hey, he might make the team out of Spring Training. Da meat Hook gets a thread in the main section but Bryce gets relegated to the farm?

I have some weird form of completely platonic gay love for Harper. I got a Harper jersey for Xmas and can't wait to sport it when I get to Nationals park

Pretty much anyone who isn't a Nationals fan(and it seems to be not the entirety.)

Cowboy fans have no room to talk about ownership.

The haters will always hate, they will always ignore stories like this, they will ignore the facts like this kid is a good guy who loves what he's doing.

I expect he will be traded sooner than we all wish.
