I saw Michael Smerconish, of all people, retweet this video clip on Friday:

I did some investigating, and by “investigating,” I mean Googling and scanning Twitter. I can’t find any story or quote or anything that confirms Harper’s vaccination status one way or another. NOT THAT IT’S ANY OF OUR BUSINESS. It’s a personal choice.

We do know that he wasn’t in the group of guys who missed time due to COVID protocols recently. That was Alec Bohm, Aaron Nola, Connor Brogdon, and Bailey Falter. We just need Bryce out there on the field because he’s been raking this summer.

EDIT –

I missed this because I’m a dope, but Shanin Specter is the son of the late Arlen Specter. He’s Tom Kline’s law partner. You know Tom Kline, right? The white haired lawyer guy who sits courtside at the Sixers games? They have great tickets to all of the local sports games. I should have become a lawyer.
