Washington Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper was ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Miami Marlins when he tossed his helmet to the ground after grounding into a double play in the ninth inning.
Despite the fact that Harper had already hit two home runs in the game and the Nationals had an 8-4 lead in the ninth, he let his frustration get the best of him. Harper tossed his helmet to the ground, and first base umpire CB Bucknor tossed Harper from the game. It was the first ejection of Harper's career.
We've seen Harper slam his bat and shatter it several times this month, and now this. Hopefully Nationals manager Davey Johnson can get Harper to work out his anger management issues in time for the postseason.
