Daily News | Phillies’ Bryce Harper ‘thankful’ as he reaches 10 years of major-league service time
Jose F. Moreno/ Staff PhotographerDENVER — It didn’t sneak up on Bryce Harper that he was about to reach 10 years of major league service time. It’s just that he hadn’t given it much thought until two weeks ago, when he was talking to one of the Oakland A’s during the Phillies’ season-opening series.
To most observers, 10 years in the majors always seemed like a fait accompli for Harper, a teenage prodigy who was called up at age 19 after being drafted first overall by the Washington Nationals. But that doesn’t mean that he took the achievement for granted. For one thing, Harper was dating his wife, Kayla, when he played his first major league game at Dodger Stadium. Over the years, they got engaged, then married, then had two children. Harper’s outlook on just about everything is different now than it was then.
If Harper could go back in time, knowing what he has learned in the last 10 years, and advise his teenage self, what might he say?
