This is the first ever poll on the Funner Blog so I suppose it is some sort of momentous occasion. Except it really isn't.
My post yesterday about Bryce Harper sparked a bit of debate in the comments (just a bit-nothing big). It got me wondering what others think about him. Am I not giving him a chance? If you feel so inclined, please take the poll below. Feel free to expand your vote by commenting!
I don't care how he acts. He's uber-talented, and I believe that will translate on the field when it's all said and done.
ReplyDeleteWhenever someone like Harper pops up, I wish Bob Gibson was still on the mound.
ReplyDeleteHarper should clean the fungus off his shower shoes. Until he hits .330 with 30 home runs and 130 RBI, he's just a messy, dirty person.
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over the fact that his signing bonus (out of high school, mind you) was for more money than I will ever see in my entire life. And I've got a freaking Master's degree.
ReplyDeleteSo, my vote should have been "I'm just bitter and jealous."
I think it's kinda like first impressions are everything. If the first thing you see about someone is a negative then all you will see from that person, no matter what good they do, will be negatives to support that original impression. Here's a link to an article last summer that talks about Harper's humbleness.

And I can find more like this. He's just in the public eye with the hype and he's sooo young.
Don Drysdale dreamt of this kind of hitter walking to the plate.
