@JomboyMedia @TheRealJHair Then he took him over, picked him up and grabbed a picture with all the kids. Adorable all the way around.
@JomboyMedia I think some of Bryce’s shtick is kinda phony but when it comes to interacting with young fans he has always been generous and sincere.
@JomboyMedia ima braves fan but idgaf i love bryce harper
@JomboyMedia I’m a Mets fan and have always liked Harper. Ever since he stole home on Cole Hamels. Phillies were right to sign him to a big deal
@JomboyMedia Nah! Not Bryce making me a fan of his again! Join the Braves so I can root for you properly.
