New Washington Nationals Manager Dusty Baker Hilariously Doesn't Know Bryce Harper's Name

Dusty Baker has just begun his first spring as manager of the Washington Nationals, and while he’s undoubtedly excited for the job, there’s one big problem already: He can’t seem to remember anyone’s name.

Everyone from the 25th man to the franchise’s most important player, outfielder Bryce Harper, has been incorrectly addressed by Baker thus far.

Dusty Baker reportedly doesn’t know Bryce Harper’s name.

By the way, Dusty Baker keeps accidentally referring to Bryce Harper as ‘Royce.’ Twice so far.

Obviously, everyone’s getting a kick out of this trend, and I’m sure it will come to an end early in the season. But, who knows.

My grandmother used to call me every male name in my family before my own at times, so it could just be one of those things the team has a hearty chuckle about throughout the 2016 campaign.
