We Loved Harper When He Was Will Clark, All About Respect

More from Analysis

It really had me wondering lately, “Why does what Bryce Harper say matter so much?”

It wasn’t the feeling that the superstar would change people’s minds about what good baseball is. We have had the game thrive for years without taunting and the “Me, Me, Me” attitude.

But it turns out, the reason why I was so disappointed with Harper’s comments on the game is that his persona reminds me a lot of my favorite player, Will Clark.

Clark made a name for himself prior to entering the Giants clubhouse by dominating at the college and Olympic level.
