His jersey hung on a hook at the only locker he has ever known, the home white with HARPER facing out to the clubhouse at Nationals Park. A cardboard box sat in front of him, ready to be filled with whatever essentials he needs to take away from here, back home to the comfort of Las Vegas, into the vast uncertainty beyond that. Bryce Harper is supremely confident in his abilities as a baseball player. And yet his last homestand under his current contract with the Washington Nationals, which concludes Wednesday afternoon against Miami, is unsettling and emotional.
