After a slight tussle full-on brawl with Hunter Strickland, we are waiting to see what sort of punishment awaits Nationals’ star Bryce Harper after he charged the mound.

The fight was big, with the dugouts emptying as everyone ran to join their teammates. Harper and Strickland both threw a few punches, but Harper was certainly the aggressor.

One person, however wanted to see the bright side in the event.

Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky invited Harper to come out to Stanford to swim with her! In the event that he has off time, of course.

Ledecky and Harper have met before, in 2016 after she returned home from the Rio Olympics to throw out the first pitch at a Nationals game. Harper held onto her medals while she performed the throw.

Later in that season, when the Nats won the NL East, Harper wore one of Ledecky’s swim caps while celebrating, to protect his magnificent hair from a champagne shower.

We are here for this Harper-Ledecky friendship. Even if Harper isn’t suspended, maybe he’ll get out there to Palo Alto. He’ll have to borrow a swim cap, of course, to keep that hair from getting wet.
