Harper unveils specially designed hat for charity
A day after announcing the initiative, Bryce Harper officially unveiled his new hat that will be sold to benefit his charity "Harper's Heroes."
The Washington Nationals superstar officially revealed the caps, which will be sold to benefit children suffering from cancer, at a press conference Wednesday.

Although the 23-year-old has often shown a bold taste when it comes to customized equipment, Harper chose to go simple with these hats.
''I wanted it to be an old-style cap, kind of like the old L.A. Dodgers hat and the old New York Yankees hat that celebrities wear. That kind of thing,'' Harper told the Associated Press on Tuesday. ''I wanted it to be super simple with the Harper's Heroes logo on it.''

Harper also revealed Tuesday that he plans to wear the hat during interviews.
It appears that idea's already gaining steam in the Nationals clubhouse:
