Bryce Harper plays baseball this week! Five months after Tommy John surgery. He’s a scientific miracle. He’s like Wolverine in X-Men and not just because of the beard.

UPDATE: There it is – 

Only 159 days after Tommy John surgery, two-time MVP Bryce Harper has been cleared to play by the Philadelphia Phillies, sources tell ESPN. A remarkable recovery, shattering expectations he’d return in July. He's expected to be in the lineup starting at designated hitter Tuesday.
