Fortunately for Bryce Harper, the no-fly restrictions over Washington, D.C. don't apply to baseballs.
In the first inning of Wednesday's clash with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 23-year-old phenom absolutely murdered a Bud Norris offering, depositing it 10 rows into the third deck at Nationals Park, approximately 451 feet away, according to MASN's Mark Zuckerman.
Harper's longest homer of the season was also his 20th, making him just the 12th player since 1901 to reach that plateau four times before his age-24 season.
