GAG cover photo

The folded hands in the GAG blog ID above belong to Bryce Harper. The words and numbers (Luke 1:37) belong to the big man upstairs.

Behind the book, chapter and verse are the words, "For nothing is impossible with God." That might explain why the 16-year-old baseball phenom has been able to garner the nickname "Baseball's LeBron," if not originally given to him by SI then by someone else along the way.

The SI article doesn't explain Harper's viewpoint on religion or faith or those kinds of matters; writer Tom Verducci let's the photo speak for itself. On Harper's other wrist? The words "Play For Him."

Verducci did mention that Harper attends religious education classes regularly before school. Look for him every day in the big leagues in a few years, following his stint with Las Vegas High School.

Wheaties vs. Fruity Pebbles


If it's not the water, then is it something in the cereal bowls of these high-powered athletes?

No, this isn't a post about steroids. This is a post about the cereal that Atlanta Dream forward Chamique Holdsclaw and prep phenom Bryce Harper have admitted to eating. (That's Harper on the cover of SI). Both revealed this sweet little secret to SI writers for the current issue.

According to these articles, Holdsclaw ate Fruity Pebbles in the dark while battling depression. Harper leaves empty bowls of the stuff laying around his bedroom.

Did you know that a five pack of this cereal goes for $29.99 on Amazon? More importantly, what ever happened to Wheaties?
