Maybe the Nationals’ disastrous 2015 season pushed Bryce Harper a lot closer to the brink of total insanity than we all thought.
On Saturday, the 22-year-old outfielder showed off a new hairdo for his Instagram devotees to fawn over: bright white locks.
His caption read: “Changed it up #Ice #hairstyle”
Well that’s certainly one way to begin your offseason.
Harper, the frontrunner to take home NL MVP honors at season’s end, endured a tumultuous fourth year in the big leagues. His individual brilliance on the field was overshadowed by clashes with everyone from the D.C. faithful to teammate Jonathan Papelbon as the Nationals failed to make the playoffs after being touted as World Series favorites before the season began.
Perhaps this is just Harper’s way of coping with all the maelstrom that plagued the Nationals this year. At least he might be able to get a Just For Men endorsement deal out of it though.
