Here's a photo of Bryce Harper with George Brett before the All-Star Game tonight. Certainly not as special a moment for Nationals fans as Bryce Harper meeting with Frank Robinson on Monday night, but still special nonetheless, you know? Especially for Harper:
"ESPN Classic was always on when I was growing up — whole games, even back to Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. My dad would say, ‘Here are the guys.’ Cal Ripken, Pete Rose and Brett — I hope I meet him tomorrow night — were the ones I wanted to be like. They gave it everything, made their town and their fans proud. I was more a student [of them] than a fan."

And so, Harper got to meet Brett...
