Bryce Harper clearly is a man who cares about his appearance, as he claimed it requires a half-hour of styling and primping to get his hair right before ballgames.
The Washington Nationals slugger made an appearance on MLB Network’s “Intentional Talk” on Tuesday before a showdown with the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium — his first game at the home ballpark of his favorite childhood team (during which he hit a homer) — when he admitted his high-maintenance hairstyling.
The details of his pregame hair care routine came about after Harper was asked how difficult it is to get chocolate syrup out of his hair, which of course is in reference to the Nationals’ messy celebratory routine of dousing the game’s hero with the sweet treat, something that evolved into Hershey’s agreeing to supply the team with their beloved cocoa-based condiment.
