You could hear the hot takes coming out of right field Monday night at Dodger Stadium. "Bryce Harper doesn't care about the fans! What a jerk!" And then... "Oh, that was actually nice. Good for you, Bryce!"
Harper caught a fly ball to end the bottom of the fourth inning during Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the Nationals and Dodgers. The fans out in right field expected Harper to toss them a souvenir, but Harper had other ideas.

Before returning back to the dugout, Harper handed the ball off to an adorable little girl.
Thank you, Bryce, for making the correct choice and saving us from some bad columns about your attitude.
