There were two Bryce Harpers at the Nationals game and there's no telling which is the real one

By Ben Cosman

Despite reaching base seven times, Bryce Harperdidn't record a single official at-bat during the Nationals-Cubs game on Sunday -- if you think about it, it was almost like he was never there. But it's OK, because he was definitely there for Monday's game against the Tigers. He was so there, there were two of him:

Yes: One Harper in right field to play baseball and one sitting behind home plate making sure there were no at-bat burglars waiting to steal any more of Harper's at-bats, probably. Now, we just have to figure out which one is the real Harper ...

I don't know: Same slicked-back hair, same eye black, same arm sleeve. Your guess is as good as mine.
