The Washington Nationals are set to have a very different look — sort of. Washington’s star outfielder, Bryce Harper, has shaved his beard.
Big news: Bryce Harper has shaved his beard.

WHY DID YOU SHAVE @Bharper3407 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Well, we don’t know why he did it. Ordinarily, we’d just say he’s a slumping player looking to do something different.
That just didn’t seem like the popular opinion on Twitter.
No, Twitter noted that Harper, a pending free agent, might just be showing a clean shaven face to the New York Yankees, who are notoriously anti-facial hair and who happen to be Washington’s opponent on Monday.
And the Yankee fans go crazy!!!
