Somewhere in storage my Ronnie Belliard fathead is crying tears at this name. 

Zimmerman a class act all the way, hats off to that boss. 

Harper still selling Gatorade and got the kids pumped.  Saw a LL group at Chick-Fil-A in Cary the other day and of the 12 kids wearing signature cleats six had Harper.  Entirely possible said LLers were Mormons but I was kind of shocked Harper still has that level of appeal to the kids.
gonna have to do a breakout for all the Harper talk, but it's him and Tim Anderson hyping either a Carl's or a Sonic MLB burgers for the vote off for the all star game.  Harper still is a marketer. The hollow part of his resume would be no World Series, so he's not Mr October with Mr October stats.  He's also not in Trout's league.

Personally, the guy who doesn't get the deserved hype is  Mookie.  The guy should be the face of baseball.  Classic franchise(s), major market, great personality and skills.
