At the beginning of this season, when Bryce Harper was hitting at a pace that made everyone in baseball declare him worthy of a $500 million extension, I thought it would be fun to document every single homer he crushed this season.
Because Bryce wallops pitches over fences, and there were so, so many.
Little did I know, it would be the easiest task ever. Because after that initial onslaught, Harper went into the worst slump of his career.
Guess when his last fucking dinger was? Guess. July 20th. Before that? July 8th? He hit two home runs in nearly two month.
Things got so bad, he sat out for a whole week with a “stiff neck.” But since then, he’s been raking. And he finally got back in the bomb business, with this mammoth one last night.
Bryce's last 6 games:

Four sixty-one to dead center! Bam
Now watch home runs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, we forgot to post 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, I think we missed 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, 16, because of MLB’s stupid fucking embed policies we couldn’t post 17 or 18, 19, 20
