Bryce Harper Spotted Giving Jar of Money to Homeless Woman in Chicago

Vanessa de BeaumontMay 9, 2016

Sunday may have seen Bryce Harper hit one of the most meaningful home runs of his 2016 season.

It wasn't behind home plate—where the reigning NL MVP has experienced a recent downward trend in production—but in Chicago, just outside of the visitors' bus area.

It was there that a woman named Asheley Marie, working road team security, spotted the Washington Nationals star giving a jar of money to a nearby homeless woman.

Marie's story, posted to Facebook and confirmed by the Washington Post's Chelsea Janes, reads:

"

got to work security for the visitor's bus after the game today & witnessed something amazing! Bryce Harper had already gotten on his bus but, about 10 minutes later he walks off again with a glass jar full of money. I watched him run across Sheffield & give it to a homeless woman who was sitting under a tree next to her dog with a big smile. That woman's face lit up so brightly & she couldn't believe it! I couldn't help but give him knucks as he got back on the bus & told him he was a good man. He gave them back with a smile & a big thank you! Nationals or not...that was incredible to witness! Thanks, Bryce! Respect❤

"

We'll mark this random act of kindness down as a grand slam.
