Since when do Mormons in Vegas abide by those rules anyway? This isn't Provo

He does have a very nice family and was raised well, my sister still hangs out with his older brother.

Thats a clown question Bro

I am really becoming quite a fan, I have to admit.
Perfect answer, perfect delivery.

Maybe everything Towers touches turns to dung because he touches it long after it's already been digested and has lost all nutritive value.

if he is that religous, will he go on a mission and miss time playing?

players ever miss time for religious beliefs?

When Bryce Harper was first called up, there was the question of how long he'd stay in the big leagues. With that behind him, apparently some pessimistic Nationals fans had another concern -- his religion.

Amanda Comak of the Washington Times points out something I hadn't thought much about -- but even though Harper is Mormon, he will not be going on a mission anytime soon.

Many of Harpers friends are preparing to go on their two-year missions that many Mormons go on after their first year of college, but Harper will not be going anywhere. According to Comak, because of his baseball career, Harper will get an extension and be able to do his mission later in life.

Rockies pitcher Jeremy Guthrie is also a Mormon and he went on a mission during college, spending two years in Spain before transferring from BYU to Stanford. Orioles reliever Matt Lindstrom served a mission in Sweden after graduating high school and before going to college.

I was just messin with you by the way - i have no idea - but i doubt he would miss time for a mission - kid lives baseball - he could do whatever in the winter.

Yom kippur - Sandy Koufax.

Koufax is also remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports. His decision to not pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs.[4]

Its all good

I was not trying to be an ass, but i know missions are a serious part of thier beliefs. I know some BYU football players miss a full season or two at times.

I do not know how long they last, maybe he can do his in the winter.

I wonder if he has any verbage in his contract about it.

Mormon Church must love Harper, they get roughly 20% of your paycheck in some cases or else you can't belong to the Temple.

It's 10% not 20%, it's called Tithing.

Catholics are supposed to tithe (those extravagant churches don't pay for themselves) but there is no way for the Church to know if you actually do it.

FWIW, how do the LDS know if you tithe or not or even if you belong at the temple. Are you expected to sign in or something? Are things really set up in a way that someone can't just walk in off the street and worship? I'm not religious but I was raised Catholic. What I remember was that everyone was welcome.

For the tithing, they keep records.

The Mormon church has regular churches, and anyone can go to those. Temples are different than churches for them. They reserve the temples for special ceremonies, not regular worship, and only members in good standing can enter the temple. Not even all members can go in.
