The Philadelphia Phillies superstar helped a teenager by showing up at the girl’s door to pop the question:
It all happened because Haddonfield Memorial High School student Jake Portello took the risk of going knocking on the door of the two-time National League MVP winner.
Bryce Harper is the ultimate wingman!

‘Portello told The Phantastic Sports Show how he convinced Harper to help him: “I was very difficult actually. I just went knocking on his door and Harper was very nice from the beginning. At first, Harper asked me if I had an email to plan the proposal. However, then he thought why don’t we do it right then and there; which I couldn’t say no to.” Harper got into the boy’s car and followed him to the home of his date, Julia.
On Julia hugging Harper before him, Portello mentioned, “It’s normal, it makes perfect sense. Bryce is a happy-go-lucky guy and very popular. Eventually, I got my hug afterwards.”
After this event, Portello was invited to attend next Friday’s Phillies game.
