LOVERRO: A philosophical Harper bats away (most) of the questions about pressure

Bryce Harper was surrounded by reporters as he sat behind his assigned table in the Norfolk Southern Room on the 200 level of Nationals Park, along with other National League All-Stars. He was asked all sorts of questions, with a common theme being pressure.

He was asked if he felt any extra pressure to do well with the All-Star Game here in the Nationals’ home park.

“There’s no pressure,” he responded. “You go out there and have fun and enjoy it. There’s some of the greatest baseball players in this league here in D.C., and as a player and a fan you just want to look at it and enjoy it.
