David Segui Led A Parents' Uprising Against The Shady Coach At Bryce Harper's Junior College

Long before Bryce Harper injected D.C. with Natitude, he played for the College of Southern Nevada Coyotes. Harper was then the same athletic freak he is now. He left after one season because he was draft-eligible and the Nats offered a lot of money.

Davey Johnson he wasn't, and former big leaguer David Segui took notice. Listen up to Josh Levin on this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast.
