Is Bryce Harper the second coming of Babe Ruth?

The Washington Post created a terrific video that compares the swings of the Babe and the Bryce. I saw it yesterday on their site and it was amazing. Their movements are so much alike! Today, the video doesn't seem to be working. Here's hoping that's a temporary problem. (There's another article at the Post that describes his swing and compares it to Ruth. No video, though.)

But of course, this is the US. So obviously, all you have to do is go to YouTube to find something similar to the missing Post video. It's not as flashy or well-produced, but it has the same goal and delivers the goods. Check it out. Bryce is the Babe.

This kid is baseball itself. If you're a fan and you're not watching Bryce Harper, you're missing the biggest thing to hit the game in decades.

The video is working now. That was really interesting. I like how they called it a "violent" swing. The guy is really unique. His swing is not what a batting coach would have you do.
