Harper made his debut in Philadelphia.
It's Bryce Harper time in Philadelphia. By Dave Sheinin Dave Sheinin National baseball writer Email Bio Follow March 28 at 3:50 PM PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper has been cheered and celebrated. He has been booed with the intensity of a thousand suns. He has been jeered, taunted and cursed at. He has been proposed to. He has brought crowds to their feet with a swing of the bat. He has made curtain calls.
It was warm and sustained, beginning before he had even left the on-deck circle, and it might have gone on for a good, long while had he not stepped quickly into the batter’s box to face Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran. It said “hello” and “welcome” and “thanks” all at once — and if you listened closely, perhaps an undercurrent of “you’d better produce."
Minutes later, when Harper jogged out of the dugout to a hearty roar during pregame introductions, the field stuffed with choir members and flag-toting members of the military, he was wearing gaudy, neon-green spikes. pic.twitter.com/4UnKodfM0E
