Bryce Harper's chase for a baseball into foul territory turned into fall territory when the Phillies first baseman took a spill into a photographer's well.Harper popped out fine — just banged up a bit, perhaps.A two-time NL MVP, Harper is in his first full season playing first base after reconstructive elbow surgery forced him to move from right field.Harper has been doggedly aggressive on most balls hit his way since he started playing first base last season.
Harper was not in the postgame clubhouse following Atlanta's 12-4 win over the Phillies on Saturday."It's Bryce. He's going to play the game hard, all the time," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. "It's tough to reign him in. It's just the way it is. He's probably going to be a little sore tomorrow."Harper went 0 for 3 with a walk before he was removed late in the game.
