Bryce Harper and Cristopher Sanchez got totally different responses from their Phillies teammates.
Harper was named NL Player of the Month for June earlier this week, while Sanchez received NL Pitcher of the Month honors. Harper slashed an exceptional .374/.452/.714 with 17 extra-base hits in 23 games, while Sanchez went 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in 33 innings. It's the first time since Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt in 1980 that two Phillies players won those awards in the same month.
According to Zolecki, manager Rob Thomson informed the team of the news prior to Tuesday's game against theat Wrigley Field. Thomson shared the news about Harper first, and the team gave him a polite ovation. After all, Harper has been one of the best players in baseball for over a decade. He's one of the most decorated players of his generation with two MVP awards, a Rookie of the Year, three Silver Sluggers, eight All-Star selections and more. The veteran slugger probably has a whole wing in his house just for trophies.
