Item: Associated Press, June 07, 2010 --"The Washington Nationals selected junior college slugger Bryce Harper with the No. 1 overall pick in the baseball draft Monday. The 17-year-old year old hit .443 with 31 home runs and 98 RBIs at the College of Southern Nevada."

Oh, the horror of it. The horror, the horror. My sympathy, to the young draftee.
