Marketplace Roundup

Nationals LF Bryce Harper said that Under Armour “will begin selling t-shirts with the now often repeated” phrase, "That's a clown question, bro." Harper last week used the phrase when a Canadian reporter asked the 19-year-old if he would be taking advantage of the fact that he is of legal drinking age while in Toronto for the Nationals-Blue Jays series (CSNWASHINGTON.com, 6/21).
