A Real-Life Roy Hobbs?
Last night, for the first time in my life I saw The Natural with Robert Redford. Today, E60 is doing a story on Bryce Harper. Coincidence, I think not. Who the heck is Bryce Harper? Well, he’s only the next big thing in baseball. He’s already been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine labeled as “The Chosen One.” A nickname given a few years earlier by SI to Lebron James, and that worked out pretty well as I recall. Harper is so good with the bat, that he allegedly once hit a 570 ft home run. As a pitcher, he can touch 96mph. Did I mention that Bryce Harper, the new Chosen One, savior to baseball, the real-life Roy Hobbs, is only 16 years old?
