Bryce Harper Opens Door For Delusional Little League Parents

Sports Illustrated cover boy and baseball "Chosen One", Bryce Harper, has decided to drop out of high school and enroll in junior college. This turn of events will allow the 16-year-old phenom catcher to become draft eligible next year instead of 2011 when he would have graduated from high school.

Harper likely would have been the second pick in this year's draft after Stephen Strasburg. Instead, he will likely be the first pick in next year's draft. Which means the Washington Nationals get to negotiate with Scott Boras in back to back years for once-in-a-lifetime prospects. It's amazing how many once-in-a-lifetime prospects Boras manages to represent. He must have some kind of magical factory tucked away in Orange County. Why don't you make a show about that, Bravo? You have to be running out of housewives by now.

What promises to be even more interesting/tragic is just how many parents of superstar little leaguers will follow the Harper Path. Hey Timmy, you're getting Tommy John surgery for your 13th birthday!
