RE: POLL: Do People Hate Bryce Harper?

in #sports7 years ago

I know this is old, but I wanted to put my 2 cents in. Every year here in Grand Junction, CO we have what's called JUCO it starts Memorial day weekend. It's the Junior College World Series so to speak. He was here when he was still at school in Nevada.

One of the activities JUCO does is they have cards made up with all of the players, at the end of the games the kids can wait around and get the players to sign them. Mr. Harper showed up for 1 or 2 of the nights that he played, but refused to sign cards. He was so rude to my son's friend told him that 'My autograph will be worth millions some day and you think I'm just going to give it away to some kid?' Is that what you say to a 9 year old? So no likey because he's an ass

Sort:  

Man! That is rude! Yeah, I'm on the fence about him still. I'd like to believe he's become a tad more humble over the years now that he is a star. I try to understand that he probably gets asked 200 times a day for an autograph. I think generally he gets a spotlight put on him and he's easy to hate. I definitely know he's a bit "bro", but I guess maybe I'm just seeing what I want to (not that I'm a huge fan, but his potential is crazy)

At the time he was a kid, I keep hoping he'll wake up.
