In 2009, Tom Verducci wrote a myth-making cover story about a then 16 year-old slugger named Bryce Harper for Sports Illustrated. Dubbed "Baseball's LeBron," Harper was expected to be a legend before he had even signed a contract. Now, 10 years later, he's been a MVP, changed teams and (briefly) signed baseball's most lucrative deal. But how has this article shaped the way we think of Harper? We decide on this episode. Also, we fast forward 10 years to predict how we think baseball will change.  As always, follow us @decaderewind on Twitter and email us at decaderewindpod@gmail.com.
