So Johnny Football threw out the first pitch before last night's Nats-Padres game at Petco Park, posed for a picture with fellow Texas A&M Aggie Davey Johnson, and hit a home run during BP. He also had a pregame chat with Bryce Harper, which ended with a bro-hug, of course. (Screencap via this MLB.com video)
Harper and Manziel's friendship started on Twitter, of course. via Nationals Journal:
"I clicked on his Twitter one day. It happened to say he was following me. I followed him back. He shot me a message. I shot him a message. I got his phone number, and he texted me. We text three or four months, something like that. He texted me last night, ‘I hear you’re in San Diego?’ us 20- and 21-year-olds have to stick together that are in this type of deal."
