Bryce Harper Has Now Homered At Every NL Ballpark

May 17, 2017 6:40 AM

Bryce Harper hit a home run to the last row of seats in right field in the top of the ninth at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.

The blast means that Harper has now homered at every National League ballpark.

"I don't worry about hitting the ball in the water," Harper said. "[Former manager] Matt [Williams] used to say, 'It's not how far. It's how many.' Just trying to put the ball in play, and sometimes it goes over the fence."

Harper is hitting .388/.503/.767 with 13 home runs in 35 games this season.

Billy Hamilton Becomes Fourth-Fastest To Steal 200 Bases

May 6, 2017 1:18 AM

Billy Hamilton stole the 200th base of his career on Thursday afternoon.

Hamilton reached 200 stolen bases in 424 games -- the fourth fewest since at least 1900.

The Cincinnati Reds speedster would love to have a chance to challenge Rickey Henderson, who owns the all-time record of 1,406 stolen bases.

"It means a lot to be up there with the greatest people in stolen bases," Hamilton said. "But it's something you've got to keep moving forward and keep getting more, there's a long way to go to get the record."
