Watch Bryce Harper knock one out of Yankee Stadium (Video)

Bryce Harper completed yet another feat on Tuesday night, knocking a home run right out of Yankee Stadium
Great baseball players all have certain feats that they want to accomplish at least once in their career, and there’s no doubt that a lot of hitters want to hit a home run out of Yankee Stadium before they hang up the cleats for good. This is definitely something that one of the best sluggers in the game, Bryce Harper, has wanted to do. And on Tuesday night, he was able to pull it off.
With the Nationals facing the Yankees for a two-game set this week, Harper was up to bat in the top of the fourth inning on Tuesday night and he proceeded to take this pitch from Masahiro Tanaka right over the center field wall, his 20th blast of the season thus far.
Just add this to the list of feats that Harper has accomplished in his young career already. It might not be the original Yankee Stadium, which closed its doors in 2008, but still to say that you hit a blast out of Yankee Stadium is something that most hitters want to say they’ve done.
After Tuesday night, Harper is on that list.
