Bryce Harper knows his accents. The Philadelphia Phillies were playing the Atlanta Braves Friday night and Harper drew the attention of a heckler behind the Phillies' dugout. He gave the boisterous fan a lesson in pronunciation.

The heckler was yelling that Harper would never be as good as Atlanta's Ronald Acuña Jr. The issue was, he was pronouncing the name Ah-coon-a, which is obviously not close to correct. Harper was quick to ensure the fan wouldn't make that mistake again by giving him a quick lesson.
