MLB fans hilariously react to Bryce Harper's PitchingNinja Worst Actor award

Bryce Harper had another incredible regular season and capped it off with a postseason barrage that led the Philadelphia Phillies to Game 6 of the World Series.He had tons of memorable moments, including hitting a first-inning home run in Game 3 that caused the fans' noise to register on a seismograph.However, one of his most memorable moments from the season was not a massive home run or anything else that a normal baseball play entails.Many fans might remember when Harper staunchly tried to convince a home plate umpire he tipped a pitch that was ruled a swinging strike three.He clearly swung and missed, by a good margin, but either genuinely thought he tipped it or was trying to talk the umpire into that reality.PitchingNinja awarded the Phillies outfielder the Worst Actor award for his efforts, though they were ultimately fruitless.Rob Friedman@PitchingNinja2022 PitchingNinja Award for Worst Actor.
