I know I’ve written a lot about Bryce Harper, the majority of it negative because of his arrogance and egoism, but I am mature enough to point out when someone that I don’t really care much for does something extraordinarily thoughtful.

The time has come for me to do so for Harper.

That is a picture of the Nationals wunderkind in a tattoo artist’s chair, getting some ink.  As it turns out, Harper got inked on both wrists this visit to the tattoo parlor.

What did he get etched on his wrists you ask?

“Mom” and “Pops” as a tribute to his parents, which is actually a nice way to honor you mother and father if you think about it, providing you’re into tattoos.

Here’s how Harper’s new tats look…

A very touching gesture indeed.  Now let’s get back to intensely disliking Bryce Harper, because heaping praise on him just doesn’t feel right.
