Is baseball a tired sport? Apparently Bryce Harper thinks so. In an interview with CBS Sports, Harper said he doesn’t think baseball players “express themselves” like basketball or football players. I beg to differ. Bryce Harper expresses how good he is whenever he hits a home run by staring at the baseball. Is there a difference between showing up the pitcher and admiring yourself? Either way it’s expressing yourself.
One of the most famous expressions came during last year’s playoffs in Toronto. In an emotional Game 5 of the ALDS, Jose Bautista absolutely tattooed a fastball to give the Blue Jays a lead.
