Patrick Zeng @Roundtripper891 NBC Sports This is not the first you've heard of Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, and it certainly won't be the last. But every so often we all need a reminder of the what we are actually watching. Last night was a stark reminder of the incredible nature of both these players as their careers continue to and forever will be linked to each other. On a first pitch breaking ball from Miami's Odrisamer Despaigne, Bryce Harper destroyed his 29th home run of the season and 150th of his career. In doing so he became the third fastest active player to 150 dingers in terms of games played. Harper reaches the milestone in his age 24 season, becoming the 14th player in baseball history to do so. He joins an elite list that includes the names of Eddie Matthews, Jimmie Fox, Alex Rodriguez and current stars such as Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout. Harper has already surpassed his home run totals from last year and leads the nation...

By Patrick Zeng @ Roundtripper891 Much has been made about baseball's lack of star appeal. Even with players such as Mike Trout & Bryce Harper, it has been a struggle for baseball's best to gain traction for a national audience. And while this will always be somewhat of the case as baseball lends itself much more to a regional audience than a national one, two new stars may just break down that regional barrier. Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge are lighting the baseball world on fire with their seasons thus far. Stationed in two of the largest media markets in the country, the two are set to make it big. At the end of last season, there seemed to be a hung jury on projecting the outlook of Aaron Judge. The 6'7" outfielder showed flashes of power, but struck out in 50% of his at bats compiling a .179 batting average. But this season has been nothing short of incredible for the towering right fielder. Judge has slugged his way to a major league leading 26 home run...

By Patrick Zeng @ Roundtripper891 For the first time since 2006 Villanova basketball has produced a first round NBA draft pick. That year, Nova's Randy Foye and Kyle Lowery both were taken at picks seven and twenty four, but in 2017 it's all about Hart. With the 30th pick, Josh Hart's wait was over and the Main Line mainstay is off to the Los Angeles Lakers. Hart joins Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Thomas Bryant as Magic Johnson's first crop of draft picks as the new president of basketball operations in LA. Hart is coming off a stellar senior season in which he averaged 18.7 points per game, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists while also taking home hardware as the Big East player of the year as well as the Big East co-defensive player of the year. Hart brings a winning pedigree to the Lakers as a member of the most successful class in Villanova history with two big east tournament victories as well as a national championship. Magic Johnson identified Hart's winning att...
