Bryce Harper's mission to make baseball fun again

He leads the league in homers. He leads the league in stop-what-you're-doing-and-turn-on-SportsCenter moments. And, of course, he leads the league in hair. But in other news, Bryce Harper has a war to fight.

The culture war.

He might not look the part. But baseball's most magnetic player is the Gen. George S. Patton of the baseball culture war. He sees what the men around him don't. He says what the men around him won't. So he is willing to fight to save the world. His world. The beautiful world of baseball. And amazingly, the fight started with a cap.
