Bryce Harper couldn’t take a fan to prom, so he gave her a signed baseball

Asking a professional athlete to prom is an unlikely request, but one that’s worth making anyway. You never know when they will say yes and Andre Drummond will show up to your prom in an outrageously amazing suit.

A Nationals fan took her shot by asking Bryce Harper to her 2016 prom (way to plan ahead). The only problem is high schools hold their proms during the MLB season, so Harper will be a little busy.

She may not have gotten a date, but she did receive a very cool, personalized autograph from Harper. That may be almost better because while hanging with Harper for one night would be cool, she can keep that baseball forever. Ok, maybe not, but it’s still a nice gesture from Harper and she has a fun story to tell at prom.
