The saying "game recognize game" might not be more applicable than than it is here. Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slugger people love to hate, is a fan of Bryce Harper, the Washington Nationals slugger that people also love to hate. Here's what A-Rod told Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News:

“I love everything about him. I like players that play hard. He wears his emotion on his sleeve, he’s a gamer and he’s a winner. As a fan of baseball, I would pay big money to watch him play — especially to watch him hit.”

Rodriguez said that Harper's at-bats are must-see events:

“For me, growing up watching Darryl Strawberry and guys like that, when he came to the plate, the stadium stopped. Same with Harper. If I’m a fan, I’m not going to the concession stand when he comes to bat. I’m going to make sure to watch his four or five at-bats because he’s that type of talent.”

A-Rod will have a front seat to The Bryce Harper Show in the final game of a two-game set tomorrow.
