Well, printing that t-shirt didn’t take long.
Philadelphia Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering had the last word on what was one of the dumber controversies in recent memory: Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia said “Atta boy, Harper!” after Bryce Harper was doubled off to finish Game 2 of the NLDS. Harper stared down Arcia after his two home runs, and the whole thing blew up even though it was mostly much ado about nothing.
Got it?
Now, there’s Kerkering’s shirt as he and the Phils celebrated: One side said “Atta boy Harper,” and the other is what Arcia said after Game 3: “He wasn’t supposed to hear it.”
