Bryce Harper is 30 years old. He has now spent half his life squarely in the limelight. He is a beloved teammate, a tremendous leader, an elite player and as clutch as anyone in the game. He is not just everything he was supposed to be. He is more.
The year is 2045. My family and I are at Truist Park for Austin Riley’s number retirement.
My son asks, "So dad, if Chipper was the 3B for 15 years and then Austin Riley was the 3B for 15 years, what happened in between?"
25 different men flash before my eyes. Then I pass out.
“He’s continued the course. ... You guys have seen he’s an electric player, so as long as he’s on the field, then the biggest thing for him is he can do something that’s going to impact the game."
