The biggest hit of Bryce Harper's career was also the biggest catch of Tracy Oldziejewski's life. She recounts catching Harper's historic Game 5 home run that helped send the Phillies to the World Series. RedOctober
The most important swing of Harper's life generated a line drive to left field that came off the bat at 109 mph.
“And then you just heard the pop from the bat and then we all looked and we all were cheering and then the ball was coming right towards us,” Oldziejewski said. The ball bounced near Oldziejewski as she and other fans scrambled to pick it up. Finally, she got her hands on it. “She’s like, ‘I got it! I got it!’ And then everyone from all over was on top of us,” Oldziejewski’s sister, Cheryl Oldziejewski, told NBC10. “It’s been in hiding since. So I haven’t really seen much of it,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do with it to be honest.”
After becoming a part of Phillies history, Oldziejewski hopes to go to a World Series game where luck could possibly strike again. Oldziejewski told NBC10 she’s unsure of what she’ll do with the ball at this point. But she’ll have plenty of time to think about it as she cheers the Phillies on.
