Bryce Harper is in the last game of a 4-game series against the Lexington Legends today (likely rained out, given the forecast). Yesterday, first time he came up as he's walking to the batter's box, the stadium announcer announced that if he struck out, the entire stadium would get a free chick-fil-a sandwich.
First pitch, fouled it off. Second pitch, strike two looking. Crowd went from chanting STRIKE-OUT! STRIKEOUT! to CHICK-EN! CHICK-EN!
Next 2 pitches, balls.
Fifth pitch - opposite field HR.
Crowd gave him a standing O.
