Bryce Harper hit 13 home runs to advance to the second round of the Home Run Derby, beating Javier Baez in front of a home town crowd that was going absolutely wild for every dinger by their star. But were they getting loud for Harper’s homers, or for his headband?

Harper, supported by his fellow Nationals All-Stars Sean Doolittle and Max Scherzer, stepped to the plate to mash baseballs sporting a District of Columbia flag headband that was as dorky as it was magnificent. If something was going to constrain his gorgeous hair, I’m glad it was this absurd accessory.
Very Bryce, and very appropriate for the occasion. We’re not the only ones who were fans either.
Some were even advocating for their own Derby contestants to get similar headgear.
Not everyone loved the look but thankfully they were in the minority. Otherwise we’d be worried.
