Since we've spent plenty of time this season on Bryce Harper smashing bats, slamming helmets, and destroying baseballs, it only seems fitting that we take a moment to make note of Harper crashing into a catcher. Below, video (via MLB.com) of Harper crashing into Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and scoring the go-ahead run from first in the sixth inning on a Ryan Zimmerman single. All hustle by Harper, who never stopped on his way around the bases, and guessed (correctly) that Molina would throw to second to try to nail Zimmerman. Harper smash!

Should have been the winning run. :(
