Harper Leaves School for MLB

Bryce Harper from Las Vegas is leaving high school after completing his sophomore year. He will get his GED and enroll in a junior college. Therefore he should be eligible for next year’s MLB draft. A lot of people are upset with him and his family. I have to ask why? If he wants to quit high school to play professional baseball, go ahead. The same with those silly NBA and NFL rules that you have to be so many years removed from high school to be in the league. Now I think the money being paid to professional athletes is beyond ridiculous, but I don’t fault the players. Bryce Harper is going to receive over $20 million from Washington next summer, and if they want to pay him, he should not be held back.
