When Bryce Harper stole home against the Phillies this week - following a beaning Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels later admitted was intentional - it was merely the culmination of an impressive set of opening games for the 19-year old phenom.
He's batting over .300. He's rifled multiple darts to home plate. He's crashed into walls, stretched singles into doubles and done it all with a reckless, hustling style not seen since Pete Rose.
The rising star is an inspiration to baseball fans everywhere, so much so that even Chuck Norris - actor, martial arts god and creator of countless mythical feats of lore - ought to be frightened of the outfielder.
