Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper was thrown out after he disagreed with a check-swing call in the third round of the team’s 5-4 win over Detroit Tigers Friday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Harper was up, with runners on the second and third base at the bottom of the seventh lap and the game tied 3-3. The count was drunk and Harper tried to check his turn as Tigers’ light scene will West’s Breaking Ball was in dirt.
Third Base Judge Vic Carapazza called Harper out on the check swing and Harper was annoying. He immediately took off his helmet and began waving his arms in disgust.

Harper said his draft was “eligible.”
