Really classy move by Bryce Harper.  The summation of the story goes:

A week or so ago, Bryce Harper, who is under 21, was asked if he would celebrate in Toronto with a beer since the legal drinking age there is 18.  Since Harper is a Mormon who beliefs disallow the use of alcohol, his response was the now-famous "That's a clown question, bro" which has since become a huge international meme.  A brewery in Denver decided to have fun with the meme, and named a beer "Clown Question Bro".  

When Harper's team, the Washington Nationals, came to Denver to play the Colorado Rockies, an off-duty female police officer, Celena Hollis, was killed trying to break up a fight as a security guard at a jazz festival.  The deceased officer was also a single parent of a 12-year old daughter. Harper's group has asked the brewery, Denver Beer Co., to donate some of the proceeds to a memorial fund for Hollis' daughter.

After hearing this story, I have to commend Bryce Harper for a really nice gesture, and just wanted to share it.
