WHOA Bryce Harper Shaves His Beard, See The Picture
We did NOT see this coming! Bryce Harper shaves his beard during the San Diego Padres in early September of the 2023 Major League Baseball season. It was a topic discussed on air.
Bryce Harper Shaves His Iconic Beard
We are so used to seeing Bryce with that big beard. In fact, he and the rest of the Phillies were really hot in the month of August while he had that beard. Did he need a change of some sort? Not sure. We think it could’ve been good luck.
In the month of August, he hit ten home runs in 26 games played and was batting .361. That is actually kind of insane. Here’s every one of those home runs.
The Phillies ended up going 17-10 in the month of August, absolutely crushing the ball. The team hit 59 home runs which is the most they’ve hit in any month in franchise history.
Bryce Harper Good Luck Charm
You would think the beard would bring him good luck, right? Maybe not! Cause he saved it off! Here’s a picture of him, pre-shaving of the beard.

Then he goes onto the west coast trip, to San Diego. The Phillies had a huge win against the Padres in which WE CAN SEE THE BEARD STILL!

And Now, No Beard Harper
Then, all of a sudden, it is gone. POOF! Just like that. He decided he needed a change and then the Phillies lost 8-0. So I hate to say what everyone else is thinking but… they might be tied to each other!

We don’t know what the idea is here but you should really grow it back!
20 Hottest Major League Baseball Players: Ranked
20 Hottest Major League Baseball Players: Ranked.
These rankings have become quite popular. We’ve ranked the hottest NFL coaches, NFL quarterbacks and World Cup players, most recently NBA players. NBA hotness was often swayed by which Kardashian the player was dating. Who Khloe Kardashian was with and more recently, Kendall Jenner. But now it’s spring and time to turn our attention towards baseball. Diana normally does these, but she’s busy on another project.
Ranking the players was a very tough choice. So we turned to some experts. Ranker. Ranker did a very long list of MLB players, too many actually. So we’ll just bring this down to the top 20. It was a good start, but we need a bit of Phillies flair to this.
Also, this list is not about who the best player is. This list does include some of the best players in the game right now. But this list is different. When I do a “Tallest MLB Players” story, Aaron Judge can win that. So let’s do this. The Hottest Major League Baseball Players – Ranked.
If we missed someone, let us know who in the comments. We know we won’t make everyone happy with this very extensive research.
