Bryce Harper had a scary moment when he fell into a photographer’s area while chasing a foul ball during the Phillies game. Despite the fall, Harper seemed okay, just a bit banged up.
Harper, who recently transitioned to playing first base, has been known for his aggressive plays since taking on the new position. However, this incident caused concern among the Phillies.
During the game against Atlanta, Harper went after a foul ball hit by Austin Riley. In his pursuit, he tumbled over a railing and landed in the photographer’s area. Thankfully, he got back up with some help and continued playing.
After the game, Phillies manager Rob Thomson mentioned that Harper might feel sore but praised his toughness and dedication to the game.
Harper, who went 0 for 3 with a walk in the game, was later taken out as a precautionary measure to rest. Despite the fall, his teammates admire his resilience and hardworking attitude.
Before the game, Harper had a fun moment catching a ceremonial first pitch thrown by retired Philadelphia Eagles players Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. He even got his spikes signed by Kelce and joined in on Cox’s celebratory dance.
