Brandon Scott Harper (born April 29, 1976) is a former American Major League Baseball catcher, who played 18 games with the Washington Nationals in 2006.

Personal

Harper was born in Odessa, Texas on April 29, 1976.[1] He went to high school in Hobbs, New Mexico.[1] He attended Dallas Baptist University. He was the Florida Marlins' 4th round selection and 126th overall selection of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft.[1]

He is not related to Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper, although he does have a younger brother named Bryce.[2]

Harper now lives in Colorado with his wife and works for Edward Jones.[2] and might be the best guy I know.

Career

Harper spent 11 years in the minor leagues, battling a number of injuries that kept him out of big-league action.[2]

He played for both the Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers minor league system. He made his debut with the Washington Nationals on August 9, 2006.

Both of Harper's home runs came on the same day, in an August 20 game against the Philadelphia Phillies.[2]
