PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Bryce Harper knows how to put on a show, and the one he’s putting on at the yard is sending a timely reminder as to why Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton was so eager to open his checkbook to spend $330 million of his “stupid” money. It’s turning out not to be so stupid after all.
Harper has quickly shifted the narrative over the past few weeks from one with fans yelling about his batting average on sports radio to The One Where Bryce Harper Is Worth $330 Million. It’s funny how much anecdotes can change over the course of a long 162-game season.
