It’s your typical night at Citizens Bank Park in Philly.

It’s NLDS Game 3 as the Phillies host the Atlanta Braves and two fans are standing on top of the stadium.

Yep.

So … just, how? How did these two get on top of the awning to watch the game?

Well, it might truly be the fireworks crew making sure everything is OK up there.

It’s probably smart as the Phillies were up 7-1 in the fifth inning after Bryce Harper delivered his second home run of the night.

Earlier in the bottom of the third, Harper hit a three-run home run to take the lead over the Braves. It wasn’t surprising to the Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long.

“He’s just almost inhuman at times, but you kind of expect it. The bigger the moment, the more meaning there is to the game, or the moment—he seems to come through and he did right there,” Long told the TBS broadcast.

The fans might have been extra spicy after Game 2 when Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia was seen mocking Harper after a base-running error. According to Fox Sports’ Jake Mintz, Arcia was cackling in the locker room, saying “ha-ha, atta-boy, Harper,” in front of reporters.

Home runs just happen at the helm of Bryce Harper. That’s just how it goes.
