Las Vegan Bryce Harper NL Rookie Of the Year

Las Vegas High /school graduate, Bryce Harper won the National League rookie of the year.
From Washington Examiner:  It seemed impossible for Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper to match the hype that preceded him to the major leagues.
But after joining the club one month into the season, Harper helped stabilize Washington's lineup and produced one of the finest years ever by a 19-year-old player. For his efforts, he was named National League rookie of the year Monday. He had 16 first-place votes to 12 by the Diamondbacks' Wade Miley, and the final point total was 112-105, the fourth-closest margin ever for NL rookie of the year. Reds outfielder Todd Frazier finished third with 45 points.
Harper, who was returned to Triple-A Syracuse on March 18 after struggling during spring training, was promoted to the majors April?27. By the end of the season he had 22 home runs -- the second most by a teenager in baseball history -- and 59 RBIs. He eventually appeared in 139 games, 86 of them starts in center field, and became a fixture in the No. 2 spot in Washington's batting order as the Nats won the NL East title and reached the postseason.  http://washingtonexaminer.com/nationals-harper-named-nl-rookie-of-the-year/article/2513296
It's nice to see a product of public schools (Las Vegas High and College of Southern Nevada) perform well enough to make the major leagues and then to win the Rookie of the Year award.
