“It’s part of baseball. It’s part of sports. I hope I get a great one,” Harper said in a pregame news conference. “Of course, I think there’ll be some boos and things like that. It’s part of the game. I think there’ll be some cheers as well. I’ll always remember the memories we had here, the excitement and all the screams and cheers. I’ll always remember that.”
He will understand if he hears boos, and he’s used to that. But there is a part of him, however small, that wants to be welcomed back with a cheer given what Washington means to him.
