His spectacular catch against these same Cardinals should have been the play to put the Mets in the World Series five years ago.

Harper: MLB’s home-field error
It continues to be a bad joke that Bud Selig allows his sports championship to be influenced by the All-Star Game, which, of course, has decided home-field advantage for the World Series ever since the commissioner famously threw up his hands at that tie game in 2002.

Harper: Heavy hitter could fit in city
Would a scenario where CC Sabathia leaves, the Yankees lose out on C.J. Wilson and trade Jesus Montero lead the Bombers to Prince Fielder? The potential of the lineup would be tantalizing and, who knows? Maybe Fielder would hit in October as well as his father Cecil did in the Bronx in 1996.
