Bryce Harper reminded Philadelphia Phillies fans why the team invested so much money in him when he belted a walk-off grand slam on Thursday night, and he was so jacked up that he decided to sprint around the bases. Harper’s wife Kayla says she has never seen that from her husband before, but she enjoyed it immensely.
After Harper’s moonshot gave the Phillies a 7-5 win over the Chicago Cubs, Kayla playfully mocked him on Twitter over the “grinch like sprint.”
Never have I ever seen him do this grinch like sprint but it’s a vibe I never knew I needed. https://t.co/kIYo3kcT9r

Harper has irritated opponents in the past with his savage bat flips, but there’s not much you can say about a guy running close to full speed around the bases after a walk-off homer.
The Phillies have underachieved this season and Harper is hitting just .253, so you can understand why he wanted to get back to home plate as quickly as possible to celebrate the biggest moment of the year. Don’t look now, but they may finally be starting to feel it in Philly.
