Bryce Harper pulverized his former team on Tuesday night and then stuck in the dagger with his celebration.
Harper, who was playing in his first game back at Nationals Park since signing with the Philadelphia Phillies in free agency, struck out in his first two at-bats against Max Scherzer. But then he came alive with a double, RBI single, and monster 2-run home run.
After the homer, Harper delivered a bat flip to remember. It had MLB asking whether it was the best bat flip ever.

Bryce twirled that twig like a baton. And he really deserved to celebrate it after getting booed so fiercely early in the game.
That bat flip was epic, though it comes second to another one from recent memory.
