There are many reasons Bryce Harper won the title of my MLBoyfriend in the third week of play. Three of them are home runs. On Wednesday, April 19, he hit two against Atlanta's ace pitcher Julio Teheran. The second of those was a grand slam. Then, on Friday, April 21, Harper hit a dinger off a pitch by Matt Harvey of the Mets--a pitcher Harper had had 30 at bats against with only hit and zero home runs to show for it.
It wasn't just home runs. Harper was hitting everything last week. His batting average was an insane .550 and an OPS of 1.867. He scored ten runs, the most of any player last week, and had seven RBIs. Of course the center piece of this week was the aforementioned two-home-run game against Atlanta. Harper went four for four in that game making it possibly the best game of his career. (He also played some very good defense in that game.) Being Bryce Harper, he also managed to look pretty good doing all that base running.
Of course, no Bryce Harper post would be complete without a picture of one of his famous celebratory hair flips. Fortunately, there's an excellent one from last week.
The third week of the season seems to be a good one for Bryce Harper. He was also my MLBoyfriend this time last year (thanks to a little revisionist history). There's just something about him in April. I'm not alone in this pattern. Harper was named the National League Player of the Week for last week. The last time he received that honor? Last April!
I'd also like to offer my congratulations to Bryce on his off-season wedding. Stylish guy that he is, he married Kayla Varner in a suit of his design that was adorably lined with pictures of him with his bride. As my mother would say, he cleans up good.
Congratulations, Bryce Harper! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week. I look forward to watching what you do the rest of the season.
