LOS ANGELES -- Bryce Harper arrived at Dodger Stadium a little bit smarter Tuesday. Less than 24 hours earlier, the 20-year-old Washington Nationals slugger ran headfirst into the right-field wall while chasing a fly ball. The violent collision left him with 11 stitches in his chin, a sore body and a lesson learned. Harper vowed to keep playing hard, but said he will learn how to avoid crashing into the fence with such force. He was set to sit out the remaining two games of Washingtons series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. "He hadnt been out there enough probably to realize he was even on the warning track," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "Once he hits the fence enough times, hes going to get the translation to where he feels for the wall and looks for the wall. Its going to come with experience, and the best teacher in the world is hitting that wall hard." Harper acknowledged feeling nauseous and "a little carsick" on Tuesday. "But there is no concussion or anything like that," he said. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year wasnt upset about the collision, only the after-effects. First of all, he didnt catch A.J. Ellis triple. Second, he had to shave his beard so the medical staff could patch him up. And then there was the general soreness anyone would feel after running into a wall full-speed. "Both legs, (left) shoulder, ribs, hand, wrist, chin of course," Harper said, laying out the laundry list of his sore body parts.dddddddddddd And while Mondays exam didnt reveal a concussion, Johnson said the outfielder is likely to undergo more tests. "His shoulder, (left) knee and head took the brunt," Johnson said. "Id say Im more worried about his shoulder and his knee than I am about the stitches in his chin." It wasnt the first time Harper has felt the impact of an outfield wall. Two weeks ago in Atlanta he crashed into the fence and was left with bruised ribs. Despite the health risks, Johnson isnt about to tell Harper to stop playing as hard as he does. And its not as if Harper would listen anyway. Harper took to Twitter on Tuesday, posting: "I will keep playing this game hard for the rest of my life even if it kills me! Ill (sic) never stop!" Now its a matter of hoping he never seriously hurts himself. "Its just something that Ill learn," Harper said. "When Im on the ball, Im trying to get that ball because thats the only thing that matters to me. Thats how I play. Ive always played like that. "Im going to play this game for the rest of my life and try to play it as hard as I can every day. Thats my life on the line. At the end of the day Im going to look at myself in the mirror and say, I played this game as hard as I could and tried to make my team win a World Series every day." ' ' '
