Phillies slugger Bryce Harper interestingly credited his Tuesday night home run against the Angels to WIP-FM Philadelphia sports radio caller “Chuck from Mt. Airy,” whom Harper claims “fired him up” with words of motivation on the radio hours earlier.
Fast forward to Thursday. Harper was making a regularly scheduled appearance with afternoon drive hosts Jon Marks and Ike Reese when Chuck called in once again.
“Thank you for letting me get on this boat you just created to ride this wave,” Chuck told Harper, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s been a great last couple of days, and next to my kids being born, this has been the greatest moments of my life. So I appreciate you, man, and I think you for being a great Phillie, for coming on here listening to us, and shouting me out, out of the blue, for real.”
