Gabe Kapler: Bryce Harper might be the best player in baseball

In his 50th career game at Citizens Bank Park Wednesday night, Bryce Harper launched his 14th career home run at the stadium. Many opposing players have enjoyed hitting at Citizens Bank Park since it opened in 2004 – including Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth during their tenures with the Nationals – but perhaps none more than Harper. In fact, Harper told Ryan Lawrence, writing for Philly Voice, that he loves playing at Citizens Bank Park in front of Phillies fans. But with no more remaining games on the schedule against the Nationals, those fans that Harper loves playing in front of couldn’t help but wonder if his 14th home run at Citizens Bank Park will be the final one that comes as a National, or perhaps as an opposing player at all.
