Nationals send Ozzie an autographed Harper bat

[TZ]

In the aftermath of the heated pine-tar war between Ozzie Guillen and Bryce Harper, the teenage phenom presented Guillen with a personalized autograph bat.



Only, Harper had no idea of the exchange.

Washington Nationals' Adam LaRoche and his teammates pulled a prank on their All-Star outfielder.

Harper, who created a stir when the Miami Marlins manager noticed that his bat had an excess amount of pine tar on it in Sunday's game, apparently signed a bat for LaRoche, unbeknownst of who it was sent too.
LaRoche later added "To my hero, Ozzie, love you" and his teammates smeared it in pine tar.

Now THIS is how you "get back" at Ozzie. Too funny. I love the fact that the guys on the Nats have such great sense of humor.

1. As a Marlins fan, I think that's hillarious

I would pay a ton of money to see Ozzie's expression when he saw that bat.

2. Funny stuff

Ozzie got upset by a gesture Harper makes every AB, extending his bat across the plate.
