The World Baseball Classic for Team USA officially begins on Friday night with their matchup against Team Brazil. The Philadelphia Phillies have some stars rocking the stars and stripes, with their first baseman Bryce Harper being one of the biggest names to suit up for the tournament. The worldwide competition features names from across MLB, and that includes Yankees' captain and outfielder Aaron Judge. Ahead of Judge and Harper being teammates for the next few weeks, it's become obvious the admiration that Harper carries for the reigning MVP winner in the AL.
Judge and Harper developed a relationship dating back to when Judge was trying to recruit Harper to join the Yankees in 2018.
