and embrace the same condescending tone. It isn't "art" and it wasn't necessary for Harper to be taking naked cuts in the batting cage before video cameras and SLRs. Harper could easily have declined to allow his body to be used in that way, showed some discretion, embraced modesty. ESPN still would have done the story and, if not, oh well - not big deal. Harper's fame and fortune would not have been compromised in the least. I was hoping he might stand for something much bigger than himself instead of dispelling another "Mormon myth" that we are not above taking batting practice in the nude on camera. You excuse it as "art". Good for you. Your enlightened approach I'm sure is refreshing for some. I am not there. Call me disappointed (and anything else you like).
