The young fan whose kindness went viral in April met Bryce Harper and charmed fans on the TV broadcast.
Joshua Scott’s grin stretched from ear to ear after Bryce Harper paid him a visit at batting practice Thursday night.
He was calm and collected as he chatted with his favorite player, discussing his jersey and his trip up from North Carolina before posing for a few pictures.
But inside?
“I’m still shaking a little bit,” Joshua said. “I really didn’t know he was coming to say hi. And then I looked up and was just like, ‘Oh wow!’

Gregg Murphy is enjoying his new gig as the weekend pre-game and post-game host on the Phillies Radio Network. Fans are too.
Gregg Murphy cut to commercial and removed his headset to take a breather.

Eleven players from the Phillies’ RBI and Urban Youth Academy programs will play baseball at the collegiate level next year.
Three summers ago, high-school aged members of the Phillies Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program were battling at the pinnacle of their league.
When they stepped off the bus at the RBI World Series in Minnesota, a few players were in awe of the talent from other teams. But soon after, they proved they belonged at that stage, fighting their way to a nationally-televised championship game against the Tampa Bay Rays’ team in Minneapolis.
