Bryce Harper hilariously made a trade for a new hat with a Phillies fan mid-game

Bryce Harper might not be playing baseball at the moment, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a bit of fun in the Philadelphia Phillies dugout.

On Thursday, the Phillies were hosting the San Diego Padres, with Harper sitting out as he recovers from a platelet-rich plasma injection into his right elbow. Fun stuff, right? To pass the time sitting in the dugout, Harper engaged with some hilarious shenanigans with a Phillies fan sitting nearby.

In the middle of the sixth inning, cameras caught Harper talking with said Phillies fan as the two negotiated a trade for their hats! In a funny and heartwarming moment, Harper tossed his hat to a Phillies fan and the fan tossed his back to complete the trade.

How cool is that? The Phillies fan who swapped hats with Harper posted a picture of it on Twitter, signed and everything!

And, of course, here’s the hat Harper got back in return.

That’s a pretty sweet hat, honestly! I see why Harper made the trade.
