Bryce Harper Surprises New Jersey High Schoolers with Promposal

Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper recently went above and beyond to create an unforgettable moment for two New Jersey high school students.

Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper has a reputation for his appreciation of Philadelphia fans, and he recently demonstrated that appreciation in a way that will likely create an unforgettable memory for a pair of New Jersey high schoolers.

A now-viral video shows Harper lending a helping hand to Jake Portello after the high schooler asked the MLB slugger for a special assist. Portello, who lives in Harper's neighborhood, was surprised when the first baseman answered the door.

"I knocked on his door, he seemed cool with it at first, then he was like, ‘Can I get your email so we can plan this out?’ and as I was leaving he was like, ‘Why don’t we do this right now," Jake said. "I didn’t expect [Harper] to open the door in the first place."

Harper and Portello later went to another home where a Haddonfield Memorial High School student lived, and a dream proposal ensued.

"Oh my god, Bryce Harper is at the door," Portello's classmate Giulia said, "I’m going to cry."

"Hi, Giulia," said Harper as he stood at the doorstep. "Jake wants to ask you to prom, so I thought I’d help him out and see if you wanted to go to prom with him. So, will you go to prom with him?"

Giulia quickly answered "Yes!" and proceeded to hug the baseball star.

"Oh my God, you’re the GOAT," she declared, before hugging her future prom date. Giulia's father was also nearby and took a moment to shake Harper's hand.

Harper's gesture of kindness and support for the young couple has garnered widespread praise and admiration. It underscores his commitment to the Philadelphia community and his willingness to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

The Phillies are currently one of the hottest teams in the MLB, winning eight out of their last ten games. Philadelphia entered Tuesday's game against the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers with a league-leading 34 wins.

Harper's on-field success, combined with his off-field generosity, has made him an icon among Phillies fans and a respected figure throughout the baseball world. His recent act of kindness is just one example of his dedication to making a difference both on and off the field.

The video of Harper's promposal has been viewed millions of times on social media, heartwarming viewers and inspiring countless others to spread kindness and joy. It is a reminder that even the biggest stars can make a meaningful impact on the lives of others, and that small acts of kindness can have a lasting effect.
