Bryce Harper, you just hit three home runs in one game. What are you going to do next? Go to the Washington Capitals game, apparently.
Harper and a few other members of the Washington Nationals were in Verizon Center to cheer on the Caps as they looked to take a 3-1 series lead on the New York Rangers in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Wednesday night.

Earlier in the day, the Nationals earned a 7-5 win over the Miami Marlins. Harper became the youngest player to hit three homers in a game since 1969. So it was a pretty big day for the 22-year-old superstar.
At the Caps game, Harper and teammate Gio Gonzalez mugged for the cameras. Shout out to Gio's awesome sweater and Bryce's District of Columbia hat.

Harper is actually a little bit of a hockey fan. He has occasionally has tweeted musings about one of his favorite players, Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane.
Nothing like Patrick Kane...wow what a game! Da da da da da da da! #BLACKHAWKS

Perhaps seeing Alex Ovechkin in person might shift Harper’s fandom more to the local guys. At least he's got the proper attire now.
