Our long Nationals nightmare is over: Bryce Harper finally gets a hit

(Phew! Bryce Harper got his first hit of the spring on Tuesday. Screengrab of NBC4/TV by Nationals Enquirer staff.)

Bryce Harper's first hit of Spring Training: an opposite-field single.

"It was a good pitch to drive. It was up. It was a fastball away, so that was a good pitch to hit --- for me at least."

So, did Bryce Harper keep the baseball as a souvenir?

"I don't have it and I [couldn't] care less."

Atta boy! Maybe Bryce Harper won't be the next big letdown in DC sports history after all...

And here's video of Harper discussing his Monday 0-2, 2K debut and rinky-dinks, via CSNWashington.com:
