“Jealousy isn’t good.”—Bryce Harper, former National



He knows what they’re saying. He knows what they’ve done to those old Bryce Harper jerseys. He knows all about America’s most convenient World Series storyline:



Bryce Harper leaves Washington … Washington gets to first World Series in 86 years … Connect dots … Must have been his fault.



But Bryce Harper isn’t going down that road – or the just-as-convenient what if road, either. He’s well aware that he’s watching the postseason from his couch, if only because there aren’t 43,000 people sitting on it. He’s totally up to speed on how that postseason has turned out. He’s happy for his old friends. But if you think he’s playing the Boy did I screw up when I left that team game in his head these days, you’ll need to guess again.



Not happening. Not in public,...
