The Philadelphia Phillies' $330 million man, Bryce Harper went hitless on Opening Day with his new team. But he opened his account in Philadelphia in a big way on Saturday.
After starting Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves 0-for-2 with a walk, Harper launched a 465-foot homer off Braves pitcher Jesse Biddle in the bottom of the seventh.
The monster homer drew a huge reaction from the crowd, with Harper eventually coming back out of the dugout for a curtain call.
You almost can't ask for a better first hit with your new club.
