Watch Bryce Harper's Game 3 World Series home run from the stands' perspective
It's been a great World Series so far between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros, and fans of both teams and the MLB, in general, have been treated to some awesome baseball. For those who were in right field for Bryce Harper's 1st inning game three bomb though? It had to have been more than great. That moment will go down as unforgettable.
Luckily for us -- well at least those of us with the internet -- we didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars to sit in the outfield and watch Harper's blast go 402 feet right into an adoring crowd of Phillies fans. In fact, we can experience that moment for free thanks to the magic that is cell phones.
One lucky fan actually at the game was recording while Harper was up to the plate, and this fan just so happened to be feet away from where the ball landed. The resulting video is as close as you'll get to watching a World Series home run live without actually being there.
This video has everything if you're a baseball fan. In fact, you can almost feel the cold Pennsylvania night mixed with the excitement of World Series baseball in the air when watching it.
There's the atmosphere of the crowd buzzing in anticipation, the quick zoom in at the plate, and the trajectory of the ball as it hurtles into the right-field stands.
This is the type of cinematography that Quentin Tarantino would be proud of, and that moment, as well as a few other big flies in the game, is why we tune in to the World Series.
It truly is the Fall Classic.
