LOVERRO: Can Harper be the Yankees’ Millennial Messiah?

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Welcome home, Bryce Harper. You had a busy road trip for a guy hitting .154 for the last week.

By the way, you’ll have to wait a while before your new favorite team, the Chicago Cubs, come to town. They’ll be in at the end of the month.

The last we saw Harper, he was telling youth baseball players that their participation trophies were worthless and the only thing that mattered was being number one.

A few days later he was charging the mound in San Francisco to fight San Francisco Giants reliever Hunter Strickland, who clearly hit Harper with a purpose pitch over a grudge he was carrying from the 2014 National League Division Series.
