Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper gave Giants legend Barry Bonds the respect he deserves.

Harper quickly named Bonds as one of his two outfield selections but struggled to select any other players before eventually giving in and selecting Bonds for all four of his Mount Rushmore picks.
"Barry Bonds on all four, I guess," Harper concluded.
Harper, a Las Vegas native, grew up a New York Yankees fan but clearly has great respect and admiration for MLB's all-time home run king.
