Just a month after Bryce Harper said baseball is a "tired sport" because "you can't express yourself," then sported a "Make Baseball Fun Again" hat after the Nationals' opening day win, the 23-year-old millenial is at it again.

Now, he wants to use cool bat knob decals. With emojis, nonetheless. How dare he! Is nothing sacred? (says Goose Gossage in a basemement somewhere, probably.)

The only problem is that MLB outlawed personalized bat knob decals in late March. How dare Harper have the audacity to revolt against the baseball powers that be? Kids these days! (says Goose Gossage in a basement somewhere, probably.)

But according to the Nationals' Washington Post reporter, baseball didn't find Harper's decal in violation of the policy. 

Now, according to UniWatch, everyone can have personal decals on their bat again. Yay, baseball! Welcome back to 2016!

And thank you, Harper, for standing up for fun. Always keep it 💯
