MLB star and devout Mormon Bryce Harper doesn't drink, but he has no problem baring his body for ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," the 22-year-old Washington Nationals outfielder said on the set of his nude photo shoot.
Harper says he's at about eight percent body fat thanks to his workout regimen, which might not be as strict as you think.
"When I work out I eat six meals a day," Bryce said. "I don't care what nobody says, as much as they stay on track they still eat ice cream and donuts. I love ice cream. I love donuts."
His sweet tooth hasn't affected his physique as the lean MLB all-star reported to spring training this year as light as he'd been since college.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
It's okay because he is a man. Everyone knows that it is only bad when women do it.

The same as showing nipples here...
by the way the link is NSFW, because the video starts without demand

Didn't they Ex that guy from BYU right before graduation, and withhold his diploma?
If I remember correctly, those guys were just shirtless.
Is it a double standard because this guy is making bigger bucks?
Bigger bucks and bigger public profile = more the Brethren turn a blind eye towards the person's indiscretions and even putting them on a pedestal for the rest of Mormanity to adulate.
BB is right - Mormons only freak out when it's lady nipples showing. Though the ink is an added bonus.
I think it's great when devout Mormons show off their bodies and display their body art, because it shows other devout Mormon teens that it's OK to get tattoos, grow beards, get nipple piercings, shave your body hair, masturbate, etc etc etc...
