Our newest addition to the DOUBLE DIGIT club — Harper!! 🎉
Happy 10th Birthday to our # 22, Harper! 🥳⚾️
Harper is one of those kids who is just genuinely special. He has the kindest heart, the sweetest smile, and a level of respectfulness that never goes unnoticed. He truly loves the game of baseball, loves his Red Sox, and whether he’s on the mound, at short, or wherever his team needs him, he gives it everything he's got.
Harper is the kind of player who can make an impact just about anywhere on the field. He works hard, plays hard, isn’t afraid to get dirty, and brings plenty of personality along with him.
There was a stretch where we were about ready to wrap this kid in bubble wrap 😅 — but thankfully, it’s been smooth sailing lately. 🙌
When we asked his teammates about him, they had a LOT to say — but a few things came up over and over. Harper is funny, kind, helpful, a great friend and a great teammate. And on the baseball side? His boys said he throws smoke, fireballs AND gas, hits bombs and tanks, and can flat-out play. 😂🔥
Now it’s time to hear from the birthday boy himself in our Double Digit birthday series 👇
