NEW YORK – The first 24 hours of Bryce Harper’s return to Yankee Stadium was painful to watch.
And it certainly didn’t feel so good for the Nationals slugger as well.
But after getting hit by a pitch twice on Tuesday, the All-Star outfielder was in a good spot here Wednesday night in the second game of the interleague series.
And that spot was the place he dreamed about as a boy in Las Vegas: Playing center field at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx.
Harper played right field in 2016 and 2017 for the Nationals.
