Bryce Harper was able to grant a request for Stan Musial before the Hall of Famer died earlier this month.

"He asked me for a jersey last year," Harper told Holden and Danny of 106.7 The Fan. "I was lucky enough to get one back for him. What a great ballplayer, great role model. What a tough loss for the baseball world. He's gonna be missed, of course."

Harper was surprised by the request which came through the Nationals.

"They just said, 'Hey, we need a jersey signed and we need you to personalize it' and whatnot, and I said 'OK, to who?' and they said [Musial] and I was like, whoa! What a great honor to sign a jersey for a great Hall of Fame guy like that. I was lucky enough and blessed to have him ask for my autograph," Harper said.
