One lucky 10-year-old fan at Citizens Bank Park secured an incredible souvenir Thursday, thanks to an irate Bryce Harper.
In the third inning of the Philadelphia Phillies’ 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Harper was called out after he swung on a ball that was way down in the dirt. Harper checked his swing and tried to stop — on replay, it looked like he did so successfully — but third-base umpire Ángel Hernández said otherwise.
Hernández called Harper out, which set the Phillies star off. Harper charged at Hernández and screamed at him all the way up the third-base line, and multiple Phillies coaches had to pull him back even after he was thrown out of the game.
