Bryce Harper's game-tying home run during Game 2 of the NLDS reunited us with the hair flip

Bryce Harper is known for many things: He can rake, he sports some phenomenal cleats and he can pull off any hairstyle. During the Nats' 6-3 win over the Cubs in Game 2 of the NLDS presented by T-Mobile on Saturday, he made sure to stick to his reputation with home runs and hair flips.
It was the bottom of the eighth when Harper stepped up to the plate. On a 3-1 pitch, he hit a two-run homer to tie the game. And yes, there were flips of the bat and flips of the hair involved.

But that's not the end of this story.
Moments later, Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run home run to left field. This put the Nats ahead and the team went on to win.

It was five-run inning and the celebrations were ever plentiful:

What a comeback by the Nationals.
